This snake is nearly out of the egg. It is just resting now.

Out of curiosity, how big is an indigo fresh from the egg?

Hi,

They are big enough to eat fuzzy mice. They are usually about a foot long or longer and as big around as your fingers. Some are twice as big as their siblings. I think those absorbed more of their yolk.

that although cribos get as large or even larger than indigos as adults, they are actually somewhat smaller at birth only capable really of eating small pinks at birth! weird huh? go figure!........
