Hi!
I don't mean to insult your intelligence but are you sure it's a Burmese python?

There's not a "pastel" morph among recognized Burmese python morphs. Every now & then an oddball albino with markings similar to what you described will pop up. Usually, not all of the blotches are white. Some are usually yellow or orange (at least a few).

Somone posted one just last month, several threads below this one. Check it out & see if the one you have looks anything like it. Here's the link to it: forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1621073,1621073

This abnormal trait can also be found in some albino labyrinths. Here's an albino labyrinth that I hatched out this year.

"Reversed pattern" isn't a recognized morph either because the pattern has not been proven to be inheritable, yet, at least.

Post a photo of it so we can tell more about it.

Also, when trying to find the owner please consider being as discreet as possible. We big snake owners have enough bad press as it is. If it looks anything like you say it does, odds are it's an escapee that someone is looking for. Please put yourself in their position.

Have a good one!

Follow this link - www.kingsnake.com/shared/forum_faq.html - scroll down to the 9th question.

Online photo albums, like Photobucket, are free and easy to use. Most have easy to follow tutorials & don't take long to get your pics posted.

Hang in there!
