Dustin,
I think with some good solid prior study,...that means read all the info you can find, and learn all you can learn first,...a Texan, drymarchon corais erebenus, would be fine. And the authorities in Florida should have no problem with that. Their laws only apply to the eastern indigo, drymarchon couperi. Go to www.indigosnakes.com , and find the breeders list. Contact each one, and get on several waiting lists. While you wait for an availeble hatchling, perhaps up to two or three years, you can study, and research, and learn all about them. That way, when the big day finally arrives, you'll know exactly how to care for your new Texan. While you are finding a breeder, you may find some other availeble drymarchon, such as a black tailed cribo. And you may decide to give that a try before proceeding with the Texan. The black tails are good snakes to learn about drymarchon with.

Where did you hold the indigo? Was it at George VanHorn's place, the Orlando/Kissimee area Serpentarium?? If not, go check that out. It's quite a show. Talk to George, as he is knowledgable, experienced, and very helpful. Good luck, and keep us posted,
T.
