Re: Loki, my Eastern Indigo

Thanks em!! Loki has matured into the amazing indigo he was meant to be. It's always a joy to see him.

Thanks, Albert! He is, by far, my favorite reptile ever.

Re: Loki, my Eastern Indigo

Loki is looking as amazing as ever Em. He definitely chows down.

Re: Loki, my Eastern Indigo

Oh man, that is a NICE photo! And of course the subject matter just makes it amazing!

Do you handle him much?

Re: Loki, my Eastern Indigo

I don't handle him a lot, but I get him out once in a while.

Re: Loki, my Eastern Indigo

How is he when handled? Chill or squirrelly?

Re: Loki, my Eastern Indigo

He's usually moving, but I wouldn't call him squirrelly. He's not like a milk snake trying to get away. He just moves to go places.

Re: Loki, my Eastern Indigo

It's been a while since I updated the Loki thread. Not great photos, but they're what I snapped a couple of days ago.

Re: Loki, my Eastern Indigo

Properly nice looking snake that eminart. Nice to seen something different-Indigos over here in the UK are almost unheard of.

Re: Loki, my Eastern Indigo

Thanks for the compliments! He really is my pride and joy.

It has been a while since I measured, but I think he's right around 6 ft. His growth has really slowed down now. Unfortunately, I think he's a little on the small side for his age. He's 3 1/2 years old now. He might slowly creep past the 7 ft mark, but I don't think he's ever going to be the 8 footer I'd hoped. But, that's ok, he's still awesome.

Re: Loki, my Eastern Indigo

Loki is such a magnificent and majestic creature Em. The Eastern Indigo and Albino Olive Python are the holy grail of snakes to me.

He is still awesome. If I've read right, it seems he's always been small for his age since you got him. Just curious, do you know anything about his parents and whether they were smaller than normal for their age? Wondering how much genetics vs feeding plays into it.

Unless the animal is grossly over or underfed then feeding regime plays very little part v genetics...
