Let me just start by saying I don't mind what it turns out to be, I bought it because I liked how it looked not because of a name. It was advertised as an "amel pinstripe" I couldn't find a picture of a pinstripe but it looks like a stripe to my untrained eye, however some people on RFUK disagree. One says it's not an amel and one says it looks like a normal motley stripe.
I'm hoping you guys can tell me exactly what it is from these pics :)

What's the difference between normal and motley? |

i'd go with normal pinstripe until i was 100% sure it was hypo or not to be on the safe side |

If it was your snake what would you refer to it as? |

pinstripe is just the pattern |

This is all so complicated! If I just call it a pinstripe then would that be accurate? |

motley has its own hypo effect so unless you know what the parents are then the only 100% way to know if its hypo or normal would be to breed to a known hypo and see what babies hatch |

i think its most likely a hypo motley, but its also possibly a very pale normal motley. This motley pattern is called 'pin stripe' and has nothing to do with the regular stripe gene, its just another manifestation of motley.
as a comparison, this is my amel pin stripe:

I think the best way to discribe a motleys pattern is to see it rather than say it if that makes sense lol
but it looks like a normal motley to me as it looks like a fully grown of 2 of mine
this boy is a motley het blood red, he has the proper motley pattern down his back with the stripes down his side
these 2 are also motley het stripes you can see the motley which is also joined in with a stripe like alot of motley does
and she is a motley to but her spots look like they,ve been dragged alittle lol shows how a little bit of het in the snake can change the out come |

I'm sorry I can't help you identify your snake, but it's REALLY lovely. It's the thing I'm coming to love most about Corns; the incredible varieties. My snake Cinco's a Normal (I prefer the term Classic myself!) but I've got big plans to have a veritable rainbow menagerie of Corns!! |

it reduces the black but some colours are heightened.. like my hypo lav is developing a gorgeous apricot shade of orange on her neck now which is because of the hypo |

Hypo is short for hypomelanistic. It means reduced black pigment (melanin). |
