A female can get from 800 to 1000 grams in their first year. Looking at my records it looks like the mean first year weight is about 804 grams.

By the 2nd year my females average about 1700 grams.

By year four, it's not uncommon for them to break 3000 grams. I usually do not let the females breed until the fourth year.

i can never find one of those in captivity,beautiful snake.

I was running a few weeks behind you, but mine finally came in today. I didn't want to keep them out any longer than necessary, so these are the best shots I'll have until they have settled in and taken a few meals.

I've bothered Don and Skip enough already during this whole process, so I figured I'd tack on to this thread rather than create my own. Very much worth the wait.

AUGH! Beautiful animals!! Be sure to keep us updated. I'm living vicariously through you guys until I can have a pair of my own someday

Beautiful! Glad they got there healthy and well. I love the way they peek out of their hides. Mine seems very curious and is always poking out and looking around. They are really cool animals.

these guys are quick, so I haven't been able to get a decent picture yet. however, I did like this pseudo impression of a cobra and thought it might be worth posting.

Mine spends a lot of time with her head up like that, peeking out of her hide. These Eastern Indigo's have to be the coolest snake ever!

She's gorgeous! So much jealousy right now!

Wow beautiful! I want one so badly!

Yes very much so. This is one of the species that I'm most excited to keep one day. Keep updating us with pictures!
