Check out my video of my male eating a bowl of mice. In the video it certainly looks black, but in person you can tell it's such a dark blue it's almost black. We say black phase as opposed to red phase (whereby the anterior ventral scute scales are red) to differentiate between the two phases. I've never heard any herpetologist say blue indigo snake.

well I won't argue. I guess it's a texas slang,then...I read somewhere on a website that to Texans,it's known as the Blue Indigo, as a nickname. =)

I appreciate the correction.

[Indigosnakes]

Why are you calling it a "Blue" Indigo snake? Indigo IS the color.

[rainbowgalaxy]

the Eastern Indigo Snake; as we were told, is best known in black...it's just the way it was named. at least that's what I remember. =\ correct me if I'm wrong. this snake was blue

Very cool experience and great that you got to video tape it, but I am dissapointed though that members of the National Honors Society would not know about endandered species and that it is against federal law to even touch an Indigo in the wild.

We had men from the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department with us & they allowed and supervised everything. Our coSponsor is a huge nature fanatic, and did explain to us about the snake and its classification. He was the one who contacted the people from TP&W.
