I don't have personal experience with indigos, but I maintain some black milks. However, I say with a high degree of certainty that black milks...



1. require lower maintenance temperatures than indigos

2. require less food than indigos

3. require less space than indigos

4. don't bite nearly so hard (in case you're bitten) as indigos

5. are extremely calm and docile as adults

6. become just as black as indigos

7. are easier to breed than indigos

8. regularly attain a length of 5 feet or more (max is over 7)
