Adult blackmilks can be very impressive animals, but they have a tendancy towards obesity. Their bodies can so thick, you wouldnt think you are looking at a milksnake. However, when you see the relatively milksnake head, you realize you are looking at a seriously warped animal.
My adults that are not overweight are lovely animals. Still, I cannot fairly compare them to indigos. From a distance of many feet away, they look quite similiar. Behavior though, that makes the indigo even more attractive than just it's shine or color.
Either way, I think you'll do ok with those black milks. They are a very unusual milksnake, to say the least.
As far as the price you paid for the babies (300), that seems to be about right. You could have had my trio of adults though for just about 50 more :)

: Dave Ive kept indigos but last year I bought some albino cobras (fixed) they react to their envirnment very similiar to the way indigos perceive stimuli. I gave my remaining indigo male away to a local University which is now used for education. The cobras have the same "feel" as indigos and the same bad habit of always needing a cleaned cage(they even smell similiar). I bought a pair of baby milks from Al Zulich $300 (is that an okay price?) I do miss the indigos but part of the reason I parted with mine was due to the fact I may move to Florida, cobras are very close to indigos in most respects, I felt guilty having a lone male not used or in a breeding program, and the smell or the feces. Dave do blackmilks look impressive as adults as of yet I have not seen the adults.

: : I really do like the costa rican black milks alot, but ever since I got my indigos, I've sorta lost a little interest. They are still really neat snakes, and I enjoy them more than other snakes I've experienced, but there just is no comparision.
: : They are not as curious, not as intelligent, and just not quite as attractive. They lack the interest in their surroundings that the indigos have. All 3 of my indys like to watch what i'm doing, while the milks really dont care. That, that is something that is really cool!
: : That being said, if you do happen to end up liking the milks, please feel free to email me.

: : : I decided to try a pair of these snakes I just bought a pair coming in the near future, I can let anyone know how they measure up against indigos.
