I picked up an Abbott line female Okeetee corn at a local show last month. She just shed last Saturday, pic was taken Sunday, a day after she ate a pinky mouse. I actually gave her a fairly large fuzzy mouse, but she seemed to be struggling with it due to the size, so I gave her a pinky than took the fuzzy from her while she was distracted. Gave the fuzzy to the speckled king, he's much bigger around the middle, and didn't have any trouble getting it down.

Couple pics, she was curled up under a small hide box, didn't move much when I picked it up, or when I put it back down afterward. Found her hanging out at the top of the tub tonight, seems to ave digested the pinky rather quickly.

Still looking rather tan on the background color, but the Abbott line typically become bright orange as they grow. Looking forward to seeing her change and brighten with size.

Abbott line Okeetee's usually turn out quite brightly colorful. This one seems to have settled into her new tub pretty well now, and will quickly come right out of her cichlid stone cave if I move a finger along the front of the tub. Healthy appetite/feeding response, lol.
