First snake pictures is a normal motley (not a stripe). If you look closely, you'll see the motley circles. Those dark "stripes" are normal accumulations of melanin seen in many adult corns, even normal patterned ones. If that snake was labeled as "double het snow", that means the snake is het for amel and anery, the double set of genes that make a snow.
The female (2nd snake pictures) is an amel motley with some nice pin-striping. She may be het stripe, but only a breeding trial will tell for sure. ZoologyGirl, motley and stripe are alleles with motley being dominant over stripe when the 2 are combined in the same snake. There is often confusion when the snake's actual pattern looks more like a stripe than a motley, hence many people using the term "motley het stripe" to differentiate between a "striped motley", which can be homozygous motley.
The third snake is an amel. Nicely colored, but does not have the wide white saddle borders of a reverse Okeetee.
