Eastern
Indigo Snake (Drymarchon corais couperi):
I
love these animals. They are, by
far, my favorites. My good friend,
who has forgotten more about snakes than I’ve ever learned, advised me not to
get these animals. He told me that
they are messy due to their quick metabolisms, and they have a reputation of
being hard to breed. I purchase
these animals in opposition to his advice, and I have never regretted it.
These animals are awesome.
In the wild, these animals are found in the glades
regions of Florida. They are a threatened species, and if you want to purchase
one of my animals and you live outside of the State of California, you will need a federal permit from the U.
S. Department of the Interior.
They are not only snake eating 
animals, but they are territorial, as well.
I’ve read that a male likes a whole acre of land to himself.
They will eat just about anything in the wild (rodents, birds,
amphibians, lizards, eggs, snakes and fish.) They
do fine on mice, rats and chicks in captivity.
I’ve
heard of folks feeding their Indigos turkey necks.
These reach an average of 7 ft. – 8 ft. long, and
can reach 10 ft., making them the largest colubrid. My recommendation for housing this animal, is an enclosure that is at least 4’ width X 2’ depth.
My cages for these animals are 6’ X 2’ X 2’.
They do have 
fast metabolisms, and they will require a lot more
feeding than your average colubrid.
My pricing of these animals is within the market price range, subjective to my opinion on how good-looking they are. Generally speaking, the more red present on the neck/throat, the higher the price.
