I forwarded your thread to the texas dept of fish & wildlife, the eastern indigo snake is federally protected

The Texas Indigo Snake (Drymarchon corais erebennus) is a threatened species and is protected by the state of Texas. It is essentially a tropical animal and lengths of eight feet or more have been recorded. It is uncommon but regularly seen in far south Texas and it has been known to feed on other snakes, even rattlesnakes. The shot at left is of an indigo snake emerging from a rodent burrow in Kenedy Co., Texas in February, 2000. This particular animal was at least six feet in length and was studied for an hour or more

How do you know that is the same snake? Head looks a lot different.

You know, when you copy text from another source it almost makes it seem as if you know how to write like an adult.

Totally different snake, by the way.

Not that I care. Any snake comes on my property is subject to death.

Send the thread several times if you wish.
