I would suggest that this gene name be shortened to be simply “striped”.
I say this for several reasons.
The primary reason is that there are already several “lines” or brands that are calling them selves “stripped” as example Phantom Stripped" by Josh at Phantom Dragons Phantom Stripe, Stripped by Jason at Ruby Reptiles, https://www.rubyreptiles.com/available-dragons, and Straight Stripped by Paul at Animal Specialties. Single - Animal Specialties.
Dachiu first called them Genetic Stripped", https://www.dachiubeardeddragons.com/genetic-stripe-bearded-dragons/ However, genetic seems to be redundant, as it is a gene and by definition “genetic” We don’t call Leatherbacks “genetic” yet they are.
Shortening the Gene name allows for shorter Brand Names and also brand names that are not confused to not be “non Genetic”.
