Motley

The oldest pattern morph, discovered in 1977. Motleys have no ventral pattern, while the rest of the pattern can be highly variable sometimes even resembling stripes (these have no influence from the stripe gene), but all have merging blotches. Can be combined with any colour morph.
Motley shares the same locus (place in the 'genetic map') with Stripe. Because motley is dominant over stripe a snake carrying both would be visually a motley. The only way to tell if it is motley or motley het stripe is to breed with a known stripe, and get stripe hatchlings.
