: : Hey guys, : : I don't know if you folks remember me. I asked advice back in February : : on weather to purchase an indigo or not. Just a follow up, I'm so glad I did:) : : The snake is indeed more fascinating and active than any boid I ever owned. its temperment, : : like a puppy whos happy to see me when I come home from work!! Special thanks : : to Chuck Elliot who sold her to me, she's growing like a weed, and more fun than I ever : : could have imagined. : : A few quick questions here for those in the know. When I purchased her, I compared her to a few : : of her brothers and sisters. her head was definitly larger and very set apart from her body than : : the others. Does this mean she is more likely to be on the large side? : : Also, she eats like a pig. I know you guys hear stuff like this alot, : : but she's barely 3 feet, and we're talking 5 to 6 fuzzies in a row, once every 7 to 10 days!! : : what a pig! She looks kinda bloated (not super bad) like a sausage when she's threw. I know this is common : : with boa/pythons that eat one large package, is it realy healthy tho? Should I spread out the feedings : : to two times per week? hmmmmmmmm. : : Finally, at 3' she's a dull black overall (shinier on the bottom obviously). Will this change as she grows? : : The male indigo I remember seeing and holding at the zoo in Florida was much more shiney and vibrantly colored : : all over its body, almost black metallic. Will she get like this when she grows, should I raise my humidity : : or something to see more highlights? Or are females just duller snakes overall. : : : Thanks so much, : : -jasonic : Jasonic, : chuck elliot is a great guy, and I am proud to count him among my friends. He truly is a good human being. : As for your snake, I wouldnt feed him to the point of saturation. If you really want maximum growth, feed smaller meals more often, which translates to cleaning more often. A lot of adult size is genetic in makeup. As for the mettalic shiny color that youu ee, you may want to supplement you snakes diet with fish and also chicks when she gets older. Also add a good multi vitamin as this will aid the snakes health also. Finally uv might be a good thing also. E-mail me, we will talk about this at length. : Fred
