They get around 6-7 feet on average. This species is "highly variable", but this line gets almost completely black on top. She ought to look like a white chinned eastern indigo, more or less, as a mature animal.

Her feed response on the chicken leg and snakes is the strongest by far, followed closely but the frog, then mice. The rabbit she's not as enthusiastic about and occasional eats 1 or 2 when it's on the plate with her preferred items.


When she arrived here, 3 months ago:

Dead in egg(fail to pip) and culls are given a quick rinse then placed in the freezer - waste not. So far, she's helped me recycle 2 jungle carpets from last season.
