Yes, it's a proven morph. It's a naturally occuring dominant/co-dominant gene. Nobody has produced a super form, so this is probably a dominant gene. Sometimes referred to as Sugar or White-Sided morph. Lots of combos have been done with a calico. Here's a good one: Shattered dream (calico x pastel x shatter). Here's a picture of it: http://www.exoticsbynature.com/07tinleyphotos.html

Perhaps, if it is wild caught or a kid of a wild-caught whose owner doesn't know anything about calicos.
Since it's a dominant trait, people breeding calicos will know if the kids are calicos. Since they fetch a good price, I doubt they'll mistakenly sell them for normals.
