I'd take an Indigo hands down.... any day!!! Mind you the Black Milk is nicer to handle than most other Milks, not quite as spastic but still nowhere NEAR the display animal an Indigo is. Black Milks also start out tri colored & then have a couple of years lookin like a muddy Honduran....... so it's gonna be 3 years before you get that ink-black snake........... cuz you rarely see adults offered for sale!! Don't forget the lowly Nigrita aka Black Mexican Kingsnake.. their pretty nice to work with & I've seen them in solid black.

Best of luck whatever you decide
