I was informed that this thread is apparently still showing up in searches for eastern indigos, so I thought I would update this almost a year later lol! So you guys and anyone who happens to look can see his progress.
Here he is at about exactly 1.5 year old. He is approximately 4 feet long and I have not weighed him. He's very docile, particularly when in shed for some reason. The opposite of most snakes LOL.
I also have a 5 year old unicolor/blacktail cribo named Aslan now, and another 9 year old eastern indigo male named Masamune (posted below the pics of Drogon)... I swore to myself that I will never get any species of snakes again except for drymarchon, ever since I got Drogon, and that has not changed!!
Aslan
Masamune: I didn't actually anticipate or expect owning him, it was a very sudden decision from a mutual snake keeper literally 20 minutes away from my house LOL. He's 9 years old and has a history of SEVERE nose rub from a previous owner (not the girl who owned him before me) possibly from a too-small enclosure, that left the entire front of his face almost transparent where you can see his tongue flicking in and out from through the top of his nose!
It's since healed very well, but left him with a bit of a wonky looking snout and of course some scarring even around his nostrils. It looks like he probably always has a hard time shedding smoothly around that area too, due to the misshapen scales.
