Please elaborate, I'm not clear on what you imply. Robert Bruce is a passionate, conscientious, and successfull indigo keeper. His current prices are no higher than prices I found two years ago in socal from another source. And he has healthy, well cared for animals. I am buying a pair from him this year, and he has been very helpfull and his prices are on point with everyone elses.

The fact that interstate commerce of Couperi is controlled limits their value as an investment, so does the diffuculty of breeding them. so I dont believe profit is an idigo keepers motive. I think the motive is how awesome and unusual they are.

I looked out of state this year, and found prices that were $50 to $100 less than Roberts. I will pay $100 dollars more for a snake in state rather than hope a waiting list works out, and save the $100 on the IC permit and shipping costs and stress. In the future, I will probably try to find another breeder out of state, hoping that we have some genetic diversity within the CB animals.

I love them because they are magnificent, I want to breed them, and would like to sell the offspring in the future, not to make money, but because the reward of keeping snakes to me, is breeding them.
