    Eastern Indigo

    I have some exciting news to tell you that I have kepted on the down low for some time. Shhhh lol
    We applied for a Eastern Indigo permit and they gave it to us. We were able to get it since I will be doing more and more teaching at Annette's school though out the year. I will not be breeding it and she will only be a pet to teach the youth. I have to say that as a kid, I remember going to the zoo and holding a 7 foot indigo and was blown away by it. Well, my childhood dream of owning one has come true. I know I know, it is not a ball, boa, hognose or gtp but it tickles my pickle. There are only a few people with permits to have them in the State of Florida and I am one of them. Did I have to jump though hoops.....DAMN I did. Pictures, long applications going back and forth, signatures, having everything notified etc but we did it. Very happy....FREAKING HAPPY!!!!

    Here she is. Oh and we need a name for her. Looking for Florida related names. Right now I like Oseola but it is not written in stone.

    Beautiful! Indigos are at the top of my wishlist (and have been for years, along with a Boelen's python). Congrats on the permit working out too! You'll have to post updates as she gets bigger

    Congratulations. Gorgeous snake. Indigos have always been my favorite N American colubrid.

    I imagine it would have been easier to adopt a child then get that permit eh?
