Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

umbilical scar
This is the best pic that I have of an umbilical scar. It has not healed yet and you can see that it is only two scales in length. This is a ball python. I have one of an indigo but it is very poor quality. Scars that involve more that two scales are defects . So if you see more than two scales involved it is a genetic defect. These should not be breed . And not to be sold as umbilical scars. Hope the pic shows the area. If not , I have another clutch that is due in about 32 days. Stan Ordonez

Hi, this is my first time here . I'm not really a fan of snakes. I think I have seen an eastern indigo in my neighborhood . It seemed to be about 7 ft. I just happened to catch the tail end of it . It was a beautiful black cast blue as it went by . Any advice ?

Hi Kimberly, welcome! How cool, be very thankful And try not to let anyone hurt it! They keep down the rodent population as well as eating rattlesnakes and other venomous too! Totally harmless to humans. I would absolutely love to have wild indigos in my neighborhood

Wild indigos are some of the most gentle spirits you can encounter. They are as tame as a wild animal can be. As long as you keep your dogs away from the snake, it will likely slither down the nearest hole before you even notice its there.

How old do you think it is . All I saw was about the last 1/4 of it . You know it didn't run . It was like ,it walked on by .

There's no telling how old a snake is from its size. It's probable you encountered a male, because males are larger than females in indigos (in most snakes it's the other way around). You definitely encountered a mature adult though. They don't get much larger than that.

I caught wild indigos, decades ago...they puff up and flatten their necks, but they do not bite humans, and probably won't bite cats or dogs, either. I have five cats, and five indigos....they don't interact, but I am absolutely certain that my cats are safe, even if they should ever meet. An indigo will NEVER attack anything that won't fit in its belly. (Which means a small rat, at best). Furthermore, they eat rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and other native poisonous snakes, which means they are your allies, in protecting your family.
You're very lucky, to have that snake in your neighborhood. Protect him.

I will . I would feel horrible to even think of moving it from its area . Still not much of a fan but knowing what y'all have told me makes me more comfortable about his presence around us . I totally appreciate all the feedback . All of you have a great evening . I will look for more advice if I encounter him but I doubt I'll see him any more . I'm not going to lg off . I will check,y'all 's posts on this indigo later tonite . Thanks soooooo much .
