Thank you, all,

for your concern and comments.

I will be posting my short cuts from my series,

Endangered Species of the World, on other similar, wonderful life.

Important to keep in our environment,

not only to eat the poisonous snakes, but to keep the rodent population in check.

[TamaraLynnScott]

Eastern Indigo Snakes eat poisonous snakes, and is the largest snake in North America.

People get all upset about Lyme disease, but they don't hesitate to kill snakes they find in their yard. They don't realize how important snakes are in the environment. Snakes will prey on the Deermouse, the main purveyor in the chain for Lyme disease transmission. The so-called animal lovers will protest deer hunts, but won't hesitate to hack a useful animal to pieces. Dumb bastards.

a snake that kills other snakes is a snake I can tolerate.

Just saw an Indigo about 3 ft long in our front yard Tampa Bay area. Very cool!

they are indangered not because of collecting but because of the rattlesnake rodeos that gas the burrows that they cohabitate with gopher tortoises.

the indigo tends to remain in the gassed hole and dies.

this is the problem with their decline in GA. Loss of Habitat may be the main cause in Florida

I really hope this species makes it. This is a very special snake =/

But I have to tell the video owner, I'm not saying this to sound smart or to be a jackass. But please stop calling some snakes poisonous when the right word is venomous. It just doesn't fit. 0.o

Thx for the video.

They can be quiet ill tempered some times. around east of Lake Placid Fl. where the mulk meets the sand there used to be a lot of them, I would catch them and then let them go. One time one was around the duals of a truck and I was afraid he would get killed if the driver did not see him, while I worked on getting him out his head came over between the tires, and I was looking him in the eyes, Sometimes when caught they will hiss and make spit bubbles, truely the most beautiful snake!!!

Indigoes are gorgeous snakes. I remember the handlers in Gatorland let me hold one...since I'd previously been uneducated about these snakes, I had assumed just from looking at the snake (in his cage earlier that day) that he was aggressive and poisonous. How wrong I was...he was SO sweet, I wanted to take him home with me. ^^

We are not allowed to keep and propigate the snake to relieve the pressure on wild animals but if they want to clear their habitat to build some homes or a shopping mall, that's ok.

Good man!!! Keep up the education!!!
