Thought the indigo keepers may find this species interesting. It's the Papuan Black Snake, Pseudechis papuanus. I keep a pair and they are not lap snakes like indigos and quite venomous. These grow to around 6 foot. They eat frogs in their native New Guinea however are apparently disappearing due to eating cane toads.
