Black heads are very calm, friendly and intelligent, but what I don't like about them is the same as what I don't like about the solid black form of Eastern Indigos. Since their eyes are solid black, the same color as the scales on their head, you can't tell where they are looking. With black heads, I find it hard even to see their eyes at all. With red throat Easterns, you can see where they are looking because their irises are red with black pupils. Seeing the snake(s) gazing at me all the time, and making that eye contact, is cool. I have no idea where black heads are looking, and it is difficult with solid black Easterns as well.

Another thing I don't like about black heads is that their body is the shape of a giant earthworm. The silhouette of their head is not distinguished from that of their body. In fact, it almost looks like a snake with it's head just chopped off, and still squirming around.

Black heads are around $1,000 each (if I am right) so there is no saving money compared to an Indigo. I have a feeling the person starting this thread might have been looking not to spend big bucks on an Indigo.

Chuck, do you remember when Dick Price was selling black heads for $10,000 each?
