Ed,

...I would be glad to take an occasional bite to have an Indigo. Most of them that I caught would puff up their necks and short strike but not bite when first encountered. Many of them were calm within a few minutes. Bites were almost always because of stupid feeding errors but they can bite hard. They are amazing snakes.

>>Jack had some stuck shed on his head/eyes this time around, so I've been helping him out the last few days trying to slowly get the eye caps off. When I went to take him out today, he nailed my thumb in his feeding response frenzy. On the bright side, I got the eye caps off with minimal effort since (once he's not in a feeding response frenzy) he is very agreeable to handling/prodding. Thanks for looking.
