was kept in the same large cage as a 12 foot burmese python. Seemed the guy had a good enough heat gradient to keep both happy. The indigo was 15 years old and had been kept with the python for years.

Myself and Aztec Fred both have some caresheets that cover most of the care for indigos. Here they are:

: I am expecting my first indigo in a few days and I was wondering if anyone could share some tips. I have read this whole forum and obtained a lot of useful info. I am looking for a basic cage setup. I have pythons and I am familiar with their req's but all I can surmise from reading is that indigos like it a bit cooler. Do they need high humidity? Do they like undertank heating as well as lights? Has anyone tried mercury vapor lamps with any results? What kind of photoperiod do they like? Do they like to climb? What do I use as a hide box? I know there is something better than half logs.(which is what my pythons get)I am grateful for any help.
