    Pied- pink markings?

    I think I finally got a few photos kinda showing what I've noticed since this girl was little. She's a killer pied possible leopard and the breeder said to check her out in black light which I've still yet to do. But wondering if this is fairly common or what? (The main one showing up runs right down off her dorsal patch)

    White parts on snakes with turn pink if its an area with pressure from being coiled or laying funny and its nbd. They also turn pink from the pressure while eating too.

    the pink is not an indicator of a pattern or hidden gene. it's just from applied pressure. like if my napping on an embroidered pillow, when i wake up, there's a flower pattern imprinted on my pink cheek from the pressure i exerted on the pillow while sleeping.

    Edit: also a black light still would not show any pattern on the whites of a Pied. the white is like an eraser and obliterator of pattern and nothing will show up. on the other hand, a black light may show pattern on the white of a BEL as it masks patterns vs. destroying it.
