I don't see why they don't call the Black ratsnake the por man's indigo.... Seems more fitting than the mbk because of the relative size. Do indigos have black bellies? Here is a pic of my mbk for all of you who were expecting one

Yup, here's my '04 43" Black Milk. I guess one could call it similar to an Indigo in some ways. He could definently get to 7' someday.
