Eastern Blue Indigo

Check this bad boy out. Wonder why they are endangered. Makes me want to breed these gorgeous snakes! They are so intelligent.

Very nice! I take it you found it in situ?

Ken,

If you are enamoured by that snake, you should have caught it and all of those like it, until you have a nice colony.

Not to rain on your parade, but that is not an Indigo (Drymarchon corais couperi) but is actually a Southern Black Racer ( Coluber constrictor).

A very nice snake in its own right, super smart, diurnal, so they would make a great dispaly animal.

Very active, so it requires a LARGE cage and plenty to eat.

I believe you should keep some Ken, seems like you would enjoy them!

And legal to posses.

I thought it was a blue indigo, hahaha! I looked pics up and everything too. This thing was slow as can be for a "racer." I don't have the space for these any ways. Though they are pretty damn cool. I know where a whole nest of them are, maybe I'll go over there with some mice and watch them engulf them ;-) haha!

Oh and Timm, you did rain on my parade ;-) But I told my girl that they usually have red chins and it was weird it was white. So she said it had a blue belly so I went with thinking it was a Blue Indigo...haha! Thanks for the clarification, I get to rub it in her face.
