It's been a very long time....
Finally caught one of these guys out crossing in the afternoon.
Can't remember the last one I saw in the wild.
EDB are becoming rare in parts of FL.
Wish they would become a protected species like the Indigos.

Nice one!

They don't seem to be too rare up here in north Florida, but I guess it's just a matter of time. Nearly everyone around here will kill them on sight.

That's been my observation as well. I don't see them in Central FL very often but I saw them just about every night on our hunting lease in Perry, FL (and I wasn't even looking for them). Pygmies are still common down here if you're in the right habitat.

Me too, but I'm not sure it would help much. The type of habitat that both of these snakes prefer seems to also be the favorite of developers (high and dry).
