Hello. I have never posted here, as I never thought I'd ever get an indigo, but luckily and thankfully I was able to acquire one. I'm still in shock. Just received her tonight. Wow wow wow!!! I'm so happy!

She's an almost yearling female. Black phase. I had my choice between her and an larger, more whitish/reddish faced sister. I took the blackie! My b/f wanted the bigger female (he believes bigger is better), but I liked her.

She's about three feet. What a beautiful snake. Little bit of musking and tail rattling. She wasn't handled much.

I'm very excited, but also very nervous and scared. This is my first high dollar animal and I'm paranoid!

What if she gets too cold? What if too hot? What if she gets out? OMG, I never worry about a corn this much. I know they're a bit delicate.

Anyway, I'm not new to snakes, but this my first cribo and I am frightfully nervous with new species, especially one as important as an E. indigo.
