What are you looking for?

I have always wondered what people look for in normal snakes, that might show they have some random hidden genetic goodness.
I have heard of things like mustashing but I have no idea what some of these cues look like.
I tried a Google search but there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive guide out there, but maybe that's intentional?

Could be anything...mustashe, head stamp, reduction of pattern, busy pattern, reduction of melanin, keyholes, different belly pattern, etc... All the while keeping in mind that "normal" is a very loose term and normals vary wildly, and that normals in fact carry genetic traits as well.
