There are many traits that pop up in BCI breedings, they are present to some extent or another in the populations.. inbreeding, or just probability bring them up. The pink colouration is not uncommon and the way the ventral speckling is moved out to the sides is seen in many populations.. more in some than others. Here's a photo showing the ventral looks of some BCI localities..

Because of all the mixed-locality breedings going on a lot of new looks pop up in lines where they are normally not seen.. but again it is likely these trtaits exist somewhere in the general population anyway.. Whether or not you have something unique and inheritable will only be known after you breed your snake and then breed the offspring of that to prove out the trait.. The only way to know if it is desireable to others is to sell a bunch of them..
