Local guy produces new morph!

The owner of my local pet store told me today that his wholesale ball python breeder produced a PINK color mutation with a normal jet black pattern. At first i was very skeptical, but he seemed pretty excited. Supposedly, the guy put his male mojave to a "normal" girl that he got off of a friend basically for free. expecting 50% mojaves, he was upset about the first 5 of 6 eggs being normals. but when the 6th snake cut, he found a pink and black color mutation! I can't find it anywhere on the internet, but the pet store guy swore he saw the picture.

Pics? Proof? I call shenanigans.

i'm working on it. not convinced yet myself.
the pet store guy is supposed to be calling the breeder to send him the pic and then send it to me. i just left the pet store so i can't start pestering him just yet.

little butt hurt about it eh?
i knew posting it would stir things up, but im extremely excited and i knew the bp.net community would be as well. if i have to be on the edge of my seat, then so do you guys lol.
i was also hoping maybe someone on here had heard about it. the guy said he sent the picture to bob clark, mike wilbanks and other big southern breeders.

Meh. It's nothing new.

I hatched one out last year and named it the Barbie Ball :D

Is it possible that it is a light mojave with the "pink" being the natural inside color of the egg imposed on it? This seems like the most likely explanation to me.

Yeah ... And I produced a ball python with pink wings

Pink sounds awesome! Where does the pink even come from?
