hmm... i had the pleasure of encountering a large solid black eastern indigo in a park a couple weeks ago. it was a magnificent creature! i would not turn it down if it was cb and had the opportunity to add it to my collection.



on the other hand... there is something about the look of the redthroats that i find optically appealing just a matter of personal preference.



if it wasn't for the redthroats, i might as well just get a pair of texas indigos and not have to hassle with all the paperwork. i have never seen adults of each side by side in person, but from my uneducated perspective, there isn't that much of a difference between them.



i welcome discussion also as to the differences.
