I would love an indigo. I wouldent even know where to get one though.

Indigo's are either illegal to own in many states or require a special permit to own - if you go that route, be sure to check your state regulations in regards to owning them. Sadly, I cannot own them in GA.

Agreed, I would have had a pair a long time ago if they weren't illegal in Illy... Now I'm just waiting for Boelen's to lower in price

Damn they are illegal here? That sucks! Everything I read about them makes me want one even more.

Your son would probably freak out and say he wanted just about any black snake he sees.

Give him pictures of all the different black snake options he has, then tell him their habitats, how he would have to set things up for it, the kind of care it will need, humidity, temps, size, etc. Then let him make an informed decision. At least you can then help him learn some reasoning skills instead of doing all the work and making the call yourself, or him just making the call based on looks.

And before getting the snake, write out a list of everything you'll need for it and go shopping for those items with your son and let him go through the list instead of you going through. The more responsibility and freedom to think you offer your child the better off he'll be in the long run (I go to college with people who are still mentally 13, and not in the joking cute way but in the not mentally developed couldnt function if they didnt live with their parents no jobs would keep them for more than the training period way).

Show him this picture of a black milksnake:

THIS is why I got a pair!

I would tend to push the milk....as anything black in python would be quite expensive and probably not a good idea for a first snake(only due to pricing). Milks are so awesome!!
