Great looking snakes, glad to read your posts and visit your web-site. I read some German but not Dutch although I could pick my way around a little. In case you did not see the post to the "Albino Indigo" debate, it is below. I am not much on albinos but other people are, bar-code tagging and stud books could keep things straight on the sub-species question if "all" would participate honestly.

Hast la vista.

I am from Texas so my English is a bit broken also! I have been to Europe several times and have great respect for the Reptile breeders living there. From what I have seen, they "make more with less" due to not having the large gene pools we are used to in the United States. Also the "hobby" has been alive longer and is more mature than in many other areas. Most breeders I know in Europe keep what many here call "static collections" they just work with a group of herps for years and house them in natural setups! As for the albinos - I have no doubts - a friend of mine from Switzerland heard about a group of Albino Hondurans that had been produced in Eastern Europe but with the borders closed, little information was available on them until the "Wall Fell". They were eventually purchased and brought to the U.S. and you know the rest of the story.

As far as sweeter box reproduction in mass for sale, we can't be beat. That is not to say there are not excellent reptile keepers here also.

I work mainly with Light Indian Pythons and you think the gene pool is limited with Indigos! Indians were protected in 1976 and there has been no new blood imported for years. I to hope the indigo does not go the way of pythons and end up crossed out with all the other sub-species just to create the mutations for color-phases.

I like my indigos with Red and black thank-you.

Cheers

Now that is cool. Great looking animal. I tried to find a pic of a wild-caught eastern I had in 1972 from a Florida Dealer that was 8'1" but being wild-caught he was not as heavy-bodied. Never could locate the photo it has been many moves/houses ago.

I was wondering which breeder that is from?

Diet. Do you use vitamins or supliments. What does the snakes diet consist of?
