Given where you found it is indeed likely to be a wild mutation. That is one lucky find, especially considering how long it had to survive in the wild. A fossorial/nocturnal habit would help it avoid predation and harmful direct sunlight as a neonate and subadult. The diurnal/arboreal habit of adult Yellows would not have boded well for this guy.

That is one fantastic looking snake, easily as stunning as the best Corn morphs. The blue iris makes me wonder if it is perhaps an ultra hypo. The combination of white, pink, lavender, and yellow is totally psychedelic!

Put me down for 1.2!

Congrats!
