I haven't read the thread yet but I hope he kept it and is putting it into a locality breeding program.
To me one of the greatest joys of a locality project is when you catch a really nice specimen and can reproduce what the best of the best look like from that locality.
I don't think a locality snake needs to be average looking to represent the locality. It does help to be aware of the greater spectrum of the locality but IMHO reproducing the best ones still falls within the parameters of the given locality. No one snake is going to be representative of the whole locality amyways, unless that locality only has one phehotype and usually there are several phenotypes in each locality.
