Will a young ABBOTT'S OKEETEE CORN SNAKE keep the same vibrant colors when it gets to full size/full maturity? I have seen pictures online and thought it would be the perfect variety that I would like. If the underside is black and white, will that remain or will it fade? I want a snake that is beautiful young, but does not lose the color when it matures. Will it get 4 feet long as is typical? This is my first time buying a corn snake and I wanted to try to pick my favorite variety.

Thank you for any information or direction. It is much appreciated.

Just the opposite...Okeetees tend to get brighter as they grow

Here's a young 03'Abbott male (normal - no fancy pattern, sorry, lol) at about 3 foot. . . He's been looking better with each shed so far. (And he's already breeding).

3.3 cats??? Wow! I guess that's what you call a snake escape deterrant! Don't feel bad - I've got to live with 2.4 dogs (the wife is a dog lover)!!!
Looking forward to seeing you in Raleigh, though! E-mail me and let me know what you'll be wearing that day and I'll do the same. . .
