Captive Breeding the Eastern Indigo Snake
We discuss the captive breeding and husbandry of Eastern indigo snakes ( Drymarchon couperi ) at Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park.
We assessed growth and body size in Eastern Indigo Snakes ( Drymarchon couperi ) using a data set from multiple projects across the species' distribution, including free-ranging wild snakes , snakes reared in captive-breeding programs, and snakes released at two reintroduction sites.

Eastern indigo snakes ( Drymarchon corais couperi ) have been captive -bred at Auburn University since 1977. Various techniques have been tested for care and maintenance of the breeding colony and production of hatchlings for experimental release.

The eastern indigo snake ( Drymarchon couperi ) is considered by many to be the jewel of the reptile world.
Impeccable Indigos
The Eastern Indigo Snake ( Drymarchon couperi ) is North America's largest native snake *, with the record being held by a specimen that was reputedly recorded as more than nine feet in length.
Here we describe key reproductive variables and determine optimal incubation temperature and diet diversity for Eastern Indigo Snakes ( Drymarchon couperi ) grown in laboratory settings.
PDF Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon couperi)
Collins (1991) encouraged elevating the eastern indigo snake , Drymarchon corais couperi , to full species level ( Drymarchon couperi ), and most herpetologists have adopted this suggestion, including the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles in their official names list (Crother, 2008).
Abstract Optimal husbandry techniques are desirable for any headstart program, but frequently are unknown for rare species. Here we describe key reproductive variables and determine optimal incubation temperature and diet diversity for Eastern Indigo Snakes ( Drymarchon couperi ) grown in laboratory settings.
