Indigos are messy snakes, that much is a certainty.
How you cage them, what you keep them on, and what you feed them all factor in heavily.

You are right when you assume that they drink alot more wateter than alot of other colubrids. They also tend to cycle their food through FAST, processing it in mere days.

Yet...even with the extra work, they still have a loyal following of committed fans.

I do not advocate power feeding, not only because it compromises the long term health of the snake just for short term monetary gain or ego satisfaction...but also because the more you feed, the more you will clean...*Guaranteed!*

Enjoy your Indigo, they are truly awesome serpents,


Sincerely,

P.S.
Long term, would be a good idea if you invested in an airpurifier, does wonders.......
