    I would go with a black milk, they are some awesome snakes and are such a joy to work with.

    The best is always to contact the department of natural resources when in doubt.
    Unless the indigo was bred in that state, and you have papers from the breeder, proving so. If im not mistaken.

    For interstate transport, you need the federal permit.

    I do have to say that the room temperature is very attractive for the black milksnake. I'll start an inquiry thread to get some recommendations of breeders!

    Hows it been going Robin?

    Go black milk. I have both and the milks get larger and much calmer as adults.

    Hi Greg! Good to hear from you as well! I did decide on the black milk.

    I have both as well, the mexican kings are smaller as adults, but the black milks do seem to take a while to grow up. My milks are only a year old now and while they've gotten much darker, they still have a good amount of red on them. I've also heard that you can usually still see the bands in bright light when they do finally turn black (like two different shades of black) On the other hand, my black kings are solid black right out of the egg. Also the temperament on the kings seems to be a lot more variable. I've got some that are very tame and have never even tried to bite in the nine years I've had them, on the other hand I've got two that try to bite me every time I pick them up. The milks on the other hand (I've only got three) have never even struck at me.
