JJ,

you found a monster indigo right there

Blast from the past

Never seen or handled one personnally but I hear they are very docile as well and can be handled.

Being from Kingsville, I have had several encounters. Ran over one in my Volkswagen that stretched from one side of the road to the other. The snake never slowed down. When I was working for the county surveyor and running a creek, we had one enter the creek on one side and when his head hit the other bank, the tail came in. But the best was my high school Biology teacher letting students pass a BI from one to the other and explain how docile they were. Student number 3, a girl, took the snake for student number 2, the snake promptly bit the student on the arm . Lesson over.

We had them at our lease south of Bracketville. Hung out at a creek by camp. Huge snakes but pretty docile.

I HATE snakes, but I will bow down to the indigo!

I have seen quite a few down south and say thanks every time I do. I have pics and video of several different encounters on one of my hard drives. Heck, it is the only snake that I have chased for pics....usually I am running the other direction screaming some form of sailor talk...LOL

They do get BIG! But...they are king of the land when I am around....and I give them all the room they need to do their fine job of bad snake eating

Forgot this one. I had a small family group coming into the ranch. I was checking out the stands before the hunt and find a racoon in one of the ladder stands. I shot the racoon, who fell to the ground below the tree. Thinking coyotes would drag him off that night. The next afternoon the father and son sat in that ladder and videod a Blue Indigo trying to take a whole racoon in. He gave up after 30 minutes. I do have the video.

I've seen one bona fide 10 footer that stretched across a two track. We have a 7-8 footer that hangs around camp. See him every once in a while. Cool snakes, but will leave brown streaks in your shorts.

Kill one on many leases and you will be asked to leave, forever.

we have them at our place by Eagle Pass and they do eat rattle snakes. They also get 12 to 14 feet long.

Uhhhh.....they are large snakes, but not that large.

[M.E.B.]

I saw one crossing the road one time. It was stretched all the way across. It saw me and turned and went back the way it came. I never saw the tail.

I gently tapped one on the head with a dried out century plant stalk. The snake raised up about chest high and went. HSSSSSSSSSSSS. It opened its mouth so big I could see out its azzzzz.

I got back in the truck. My buddy wanted to know if I was scared. I said "No it just does not take me very long to look at a snake."

If they are in Splendora, we saw two last week.

One had my son and I doing a Mexican hat dance as it came out from under a feeder barrel we were moving and shot under our building between us. This gave my dad a good laugh.

Might have just been a rat snake, but it reminded me of an indigo.


The other was saw 4 wheeler riding was easily 5' long and moving fast to get away from our noise makers.

Both were long, and non poisonous looking- therefore got a pass.

We used to have them on our old lease at the Kenedy Ranch. Awesome snakes.

I've seen one once that had been ran over on the road in Cotulla area, Never seen one live. I wish we had them on the coast in Matagorda or Brazoria county.. Parts of that country are thick with the rattle bugs and Water moccasins.

I've only seen one, in Alice on a place we used to dove hunt. I had my birds hanging from a mesquite tree on a lanyard about 3ft off the ground. Came back from retrieving a bird and there was about a 7 footer inches from my hanging birds. I just watched in awe, hoping it would eat one. Very awesome critters. Not sure what changed its mind, but it slowly left without a bite.
