    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....

After a deal fell through with a local breeder I picked up this red throat from Vic Herrick. (VICtort) I absolutely LOVE this snake. Its so awesome. Enjoy.

I love her throat, it isn't fully red. She has a lot of white but I love the contrast.

Well so far I have really enjoyed my Indigo always looking at me. LOL
I mean all the time she is poking her head out of her hide and just keeping a good eye on me to see what is going on. And if the cats walk by she comes up to the glass and watches their every movement. Not upset or huffing, just keeping an eye on things.

Its that inquisitive nature that really makes a fan out of people. On the cat issue.. just wait untill shes big enough to view the cat as something other than an annoyance :) one of my cribos made a lunge for the cat we used to have several times. His eyes were much bigger than his stomach, :rofl:

Yeah. the cats have a healthy respect for my boa...but a full grown Dry is alot different than a boa. I will just have to be aware of the surrounding area when i handle her later on.
 
Re: Indigo Price Range

Eastern Indigos tend to range from $800-1000 for a hatchling. This year there have been a greater than average number of yearlings and subadults available for reasonable prices as well. If you've never kept one, I'd recommend raising one from a hatchling. That's a lot of fun, and the best way to raise a really good pet.

Other indigo species that you see around are the black tailed cribos (~$300 each), Texas Indigos ($800-900 each), yellow tailed cribos ($400-1000), unicolor cribos (prices vary) and red tailed cribos (pretty rare). These can all make great pets as well, although the yellow tails are a bit less calm, at least as youngsters.
 
Re: Indigo Price Range

At the risk of telling you something that you probably already know, I should also point out that indigos aren't super cheap snakes to keep compared to others. They need pretty large cages as adults and eat considerably more than your average colubrid. You're also going to spend a lot of time cleaning cages. I think that they're the best snakes to keep, though. They have all the attributes I look for in a snake (beauty, intelligence, docile nature, and overall COOLNESS). If you're thinking about getting an indigo and would like to read about how I keep mine, feel free to check out my website.

They are. I do like them and have seen them listed occasionally but they never have the red throats like the easterns. At least I have never seen them like that.
