: : I was wondering where all of the main eastern indigo breeders got thier snakes? How diverse is the gene pool among all the captive bred indigos? : : Tom, : My Eastern indigos came from diffrent sources. : : Male#1 came from a line of Eastern Indigos that were produced by chcuk Elliot : Male#2 came from a private breeder in Ohio : Male#3 came from another breeder, unrelated to the above breeders snake, out of Chicago : : Female#1 Came from Dan Atkinson in N. california : Female #2 Came from A gentleman in califonia that bought her as a hatchling from a breeder in Montana. : I beleive that all these are unrelated, from diffrent bloodlines, gene pols. have not done the DNA tests to confirm this, however have low incidence of defects in the young. : Also have others, but related to above snakes, so do not use them as breeders. : Hope this helps. : Fred Albury
