Striped or Pinstriped?

Hi

Hope that someone can answer the question...
The Animal is a female Anery (Pin-?)Striped het Hypo.

The look of the Middle Stripe (width) let me tend to a Striped (ms ms), but because of the look of the neck (the "bridge" between the stripes) could be a pinstriped motley (mm mm).

For me no markers to be StripedxMotley (mm ms).

Any opinions?
THX in advance

I think that's an anery stripe. If you look at KJUN's ultramelaner thread, his striped ultramelaner corn also has that "bridge" in the neck area. Im not 100% sure though.:shrugs:

Unluckily like me. :mad:

Forgot to mention that parent animals can not be identified, cause this little beauty was bought from a dealer. No possibilitiy to ask the breeder.

THX for your reply
 
Thx Susan

The Stripes itself do speak clearly for Striped. What irritated me is the "bridge" on the neck.


Another question:
Het x het will give a 25% ratio but what happens in a Co-Dominant inheritance?

For e.g.:
If a Motley x Striped animal would be mated with the same, what would be the offspring result?
25% Motleys, 25% Stripeds and a 50% Motley x Stripeds, or will there be wildtypes in the clutch?

regards
 
A Motley X stripe mated to the same would indeed produce 25% homozygous stripes, 25% homozygous motley and 50% het motley het stripe. That is the genetic results. The phenotypic results will be 25% stripes and 75% motleys as the motley gene is phenotypically dominant to the stripe gene. You cannot tell the difference between those and the homozygous motleys.
 
Thank you Susan.

A last question:
phenotypic results will be 25% stripes and 75% motleys as the motley gene is phenotypically dominant to the stripe gene. You cannot tell the difference between those and the homozygous motleys

Would the accurate description of the 75% Motley looking animals then be Motley 66% ph Striped?

That's how I would describe them. But then, I also don't normally use "het motley, het stripe" for those carrying one of each gene. I like to use "motley het stripe" because it describes the phenotype as well as the genetics. Yeah, there could be a misunderstanding by a newbie thinking that the snake carries 2 motley genes and one stripe gene...but "het motley het stripe" can also confuse them into thinking the snake has a normal pattern.

Sounds logic and practicable. I have seen this description a few times, but I wondered me about " hom Motley het Striped" (what is actually says) with the knowledge this is impossible.

Now I see more clear :)
Thank you Susan
