In choosing the primo Abbott's from a clutch, what are the markers I should search for?
 
I guess it depends on what you consider "primo" A snake you love the looks of might not do it for me.I prefer the lightest background color I can get with dark saddles and wide black borders.I think most people like a dark orange-red back ground for an overall red look.I'm no expert,but I say if you like them light,pick a pale hatchling.Dark? go for the one with the most orange background.And don't forget,they're going to look totaly different in a year anyway! :grin01:

The hallmarks of a quality Okeetee are greatest width of borders, deepest intensity of black, and pleasing contrast between saddles and background.
 
If you are that interested in a certain look for an Okeetee, it might be best to get a yearling - you might have a better idea then of what the snake will look like as an adult. With hatchlings it can be hit or miss.
