Just wondering why?
Why? I've always been fascinated with reptiles. When I was a kid, I read about eastern indigos in some books from my school library. They talked about how docile and intelligent they are. They are different than most snakes. They're a bit more pet-like. Plus, they're big and badass.

I just like reptiles. If you like cute, cuddly stuff, there's nothing wrong with that.

A guy I know in Laplace, La used to breed them. Beautiful looking snake. He had the largest collection of them I've ever seen.

I might get a female or two down the road to breed to this guy. He came from a breeder in CA.

Husband wants to know how much were the permits?
Also, where did you get it? From California? (ETA: Nevermind, just saw your last post.)
(Like I'm ever going to let him get one...big snakes like that one will be tend to make big stinky messes.

The federal interstate commerce permit is $100. You can avoid that one if you buy from within your own state. States where they're native have more restrictions. Here in AL, I had to get a state permit as well.

Eastern Indigo. Never seen one this far north. When I was at Forestry camp in Andalusia Alabama I caught one that looked just like that. Instructor made me carry it back to exactly where I caught it.

He wouldn't be this far north if I hadn't had him flown in on a jet from California today.

Professor's get really upset when you catch an endangered snake that they are trying to reintroduce into a habitat.

Any non-venomous snake that eats other venomous snakes and has a reputation for straight up beating its prey to death is ok by me.

Solon Dixon Education Center Andalusia Alabama. About 5200 acres that was donated to Auburn University. I spent a summer there in '94.

I believe that is in or near the Conecuh national forest. I know that AU has worked with the Orianne Society to reintroduce indigos there.
