>>These things don't bite!

You should probably clarify that to say "These things don't bite often",...but when they do....OUCH! I've had a few really lay into me. I had a friend end up with a bruise on his arm from his first Indigo encounter.

Such an awesome snake. This is one of my favorite sights to come across when I'm further south -
