Strotley, now thats funny, a new morph now thats even better. Striped and motley have proven to be pattern anomalies that are related to each other, so Stripes and motley both contain each others genes. As the two genes are related you may often get what appears to be a striped/motley however, some can come out comletely striped, broken striped, motley striped to full motley. This can occur when breeding striped x striped and motley x striped, when the pattern gene is present in a corn and is some combination of the motley and striped, they will be be expressed as either motley, striped or a mixture of the two.
Sorry for being sarcastic, but this is not a new morph and neither called a "Strotley". I have a number of adult females displaying this pattern anomaly.
There is a fantastic book covering genes and morphs of cornsnakes. "Corrn Snakes, the comprehensive owners guide" by Kathy and Bill love.
