Tell her, she was very close.

I'm afraid you placed 3rd behind Ziggy and IW17. The third place prize is not as prestigious as the first place prize of getting to be the winner. It is a bit better than the fourth place prize, however.

Thanks, man! I'll post more photos than anyone wants to see. I'm a photography junkie. But, for now, it's sit and wait time.

Re: My Dream Snake Boards His Plane This Evening

Your profile shows that you live in Huntsville. If that's Huntsville, Alabama, then I believe that there are restrictions about possessing an Eastern Indigo in Alabama. If you live in another state then, congratulations!!! Beautiful snake with a reputation for really messing up its cage. Please post lots of photos.

The Alabama state regulations state:

It shall be unlawful to take, capture, kill, or attempt to take, capture or kill, possess, sell, trade for anything of monetary value, or offer to sell or trade for anything of monetary value, the following nongame herp species (or any parts or reproductive products of such species) without a scientific collection permit or written permit from the Commissioner, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, which shall specifically state what the permittee may do with regard to following species220-2-.96)
Reptiles:

Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon corais couperi)

That's awesome! My daughter got her first snake when she was around that age. She's 9 now, and just got her second. They're both corn snakes. Of course, I've helped her along the way, but she's really done a good job with them both. Her first one is now a big, healthy adult. In fact, at this moment, she has two snakes and I have zero. Haha.

Thanks, but I'm years ahead of you. I have both state and federal permits.

My husband had tried to get our 8 yr old to do it, she chickened out but not Jaz! She was like I will! As a mom I was on pins & needles but she did great. Its her snake, she even named it after herself (Blaise is her middle name the snake is Blaze! Lol)

Re: My Dream Snake Boards His Plane This Evening

Eminart,

That's great to hear. All too often we hear of people ignoring the laws which ultimately leads to bad PR for herp keepers. It's good to see someone prepare as well as you did and I would love to see you ultimately end up as a successful breeder for this amazing snake.

Thanks! Right now, I'm just going to raise the one male and see how that goes. But, I definitely would like to breed eventually, when I've learned more about them.
