    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Introduction

Good lord....

You're using the AC ? AC would actually cause HEAT here now. If I could box up this weather and send it to ya I would. You'd hate me though :) It's funny, town I live in (Spokane, WA.) is at the same (or a few miles north) latitude as the most northern most tip of Maine. Most don't believe me when I tell them this. If you get the coordinates you will see though. We do have nice hot summers though. All four seasons here. One I wish I could skip.
 
I'm here!

I like this forum much better than the other place (Kingsnake). Too many self proclaimed know it alls there!
Take care

I'm in with new email address!!

Glad to see some activity here. Many seem to be boycotting other unmentioned sites but this one will do nicely for the communities needs.

The 2.2 indigos we got from Robert Bruce are putting on size and weight quickly and eating thawed rats and mice.

Does anyone know if the red will intensify as the animal gets older. My partners Lee and Regis both remember the indgos of old, purchased from Miami dealers that were collected in around that area, as having intense "Mahogany Red" down the throat and neck. Is it a possibilty that with time and a small breeding gene pool the captive stock exhibits less of the trait due to breeding the reds with the blacks from the North?

Still love them and when one takes a photograph of them the flash seems to intensify the red amazingly. Now one of the all black ones "Darth Vader" has become one of my favorites. I am slowly leaning away from the "it has to be red to be beautifull" "Black is beautifull also" gee I heard that slogan somewhere else!

Cheers

Note we had to change our email address on recommendation from the Bank and FBI due to the compromise we suffered on Kingsnake.com to our records and accounts. Not their total fault of course but this works out best after checking with webslave.
 
Glad to have you here Bill. I have often wondered the same thing about the northern blacks and southern reds myself. But I lack the experience to know. Maybe Jeff can shed some light on that idea???

P.S. I hope they nail those dirt bags!
 
Love those rosy cheeks!

In my experience the areas of true red, where there is no black tipping, tend to remain red, though areas of red with the appearance of having been over sprayed with black spray-paint tend to turn black with age.
While the red coloration doesn’t actually intensify with age, it doesn’t really fade all that much either. Robert has and produces what are, in my opinion, some of the reddest D. couperi available, so I am certain the 2.2 you acquired from him will retain a great deal of their coloration. Perhaps we can convince Tony to post an updated photo of “Flea”, as an example of what to expect from specimens produced by Robert, with time and good care…

Best regards,

Jeff
 
Hi all. New to dry. Started checking them out several months ago and am hooked now. Glad I ran across this place.
