Pic of Burm in People Magazine - Morph?

On page 20 in the December 5th Edition of People Magazine, (Demi Moore is on the Cover)there is a photo of Steve Irwin's son and daughter holding a huge Burmese Python. (looks to be in the 14-16ft range)

This animal is pure white, with dark black speckling scattered throughout its body, and in my opinion, it the nicest Burmese Python morph I have ever seen. It is not a granite, and I have actually never seen a Burm that looks like this. All I know is .......I want one! Just a phenominal looking animal!

Can anyone tell me what this morph is?
(I tried finding this photo on-line with no success.)

Oh, and most importantly........the People Magazine is my wife's. Not mine! I swear.......you have to believe me!

Any help in identifying this spectacular creature would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

its a calico burm. There have been several like that caught over the last 30 years. Some even nicer, solid black and pure white, but with normal pattern.

Just a wild caught morph, I dont think they have even bred it...
