Yes, it's a couperi. He's awesome, best snake I've ever had.

I always wanted to get one, so last year when my wife finally forgave me for the boa constrictor escape incident 10 years ago, I was able to finally get another pet snake. I chose the eastern Indigo, and I'm glad I did.



Must be great to have seen and caught them in the wild! Must have been a real treat. Too bad those days are gone.



Thanks,

Ed

>> As a young kid, I grew up in south Florida in the late 60's early 70's, I owned several of them at different times. That was just prior to their being put on the endangered list, and all their habitat being cleared and built upon.

>> I think they are probably the MOST regal, and highly revered serpent in North America,........I have fond memories of bringing big Indigo's to my third grade "Show & Tell" sessions from time to time.........what great animals!
