Yes. It is simple recessive.
Temperature induced striping is actually relatively rare, as it is not as easy a phenotype to manipulate as some have thought it to be. Boaguy was close when he described how they were produced- just leave out the increase in temperature. An increase in temperatures, even for a few hours, results in severe physical defects.
Those few people that have produced temperature-induced striping have maintained the gravid female at suboptimal temperatures. Under these circumstances, stillborns are far more common than any pattern mutation.
