i have heard of "blue" chin indigo's but have yet to see one, even in a pic. i have 2.6 of these great snakes, my males have beautiful red chins and the females, while not so colourful still have a slight 'rust' colour. some have suggested that these blue - chinned individuals are anerythristic, but as far as i know there are no morphs of the eastern indigo, if you get any more info about them i'd like to hear about it

Hey Indigo people,
just a thing I've noticed, the eye scales Shocked

when shed have a "skirt" of skin around them, more so than other snakes I have kept, and was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I'm sure it relates to a more mobile eye, but not having heard it mentioned before I thought I'd ask.
Other than the day I picked him up, I have had no issues with retained spectacles, but I appear to have an enclosure than keeps humidity well. I can imagine that if humidity is too low the eyes would be a problem every shed.
