What makes normals so neat is the HUGE amount of variation in colour and pattern.

I agree - Normals rock! I've seen coloration like that happen through sheds - some maintain that it may be a nutritional deficit of some sort.

Have you had this animal its entire life?

The only way to "prove" that it's more than a normal is to breed it and see if you can reproduce the look. But it's not a pastel by any stretch of the imagination.
