Thanks, Dustin. I've noticed that this isn't a particularly active forum, but I figured it would be worth a shot. I saw that indigosforever.com--which has tons of good information--is also pretty dead.

As for my situation, Illinois requires a separate permit just to own indigos (as well as any other threatened/endangered flora and fauna), so if I were to buy them from out of state, I would need both the Federal Interstate Commerce permit and a state permit. At least the latter is free!

It seems like a hassle, but it also seems like the species is worth it. Good luck with your paperwork, too.
