I had a pair .I sold them in 2004.I had a legal problem with my moms house after she died and had to sell them.I still regret it!My male is pictured above.My female was all black.They are similar to garters in ways.They always give you eye contact when you enter the room.Watch what you are doing.Thats where the similarities end.They are way messier and are crazy when you feed them.especially if the food is alive.If you get bit you are probally going to the hospital for stitches.They have a extremely powerful bite!

snakeman, I know about how messy they are The male Eastern used to be kept right above the computer. I was sitting here on a few occassions when I thought I heard someone farting & it turned out to be the snake "taking a dump". If you do not clean it out right away, he smears it all over the glass. It also has a distinct odor to it & we refered to them as "Indigo granades". My wife would call me @ work to tell me to clean the cage as soon as I got home. Never got that with any other snake.

My snakes were in the bedroom until they got big.Then my wife had enough!
