I have a friend who purchased a baby eastern indigo about 9 months ago. This snake is the meanest snake I've seen. She bites the hook, strikes at everything, rattles her tail, hisses and puffs up when you try to get her out of the tank. Once out she is fine. She actually has to be caught because she is fast as lighting. I was told by a breeder in western pa that all indigos are mean and nasty and never make a nice pet like a boa, ball or woma. Will she grow out of this? Will she tame down. My friend is worried as he has young children and doesn't want a mean snake. He has 2 balls, a woma, 2 hognoses and an angolan. All those snakes are nice and the children easily hold them. Can someone give some advice from their own experience with indigos. Also the snake is held 4-5 times a week for no less then 20 minutes a time.
