In the pictures the snakes appear to have much redder throats and ventrals than the Texas Indigos up around Freer and Laredo. I saw hundreds of the at dealers in the late 60's and 70's and none had a red throat. There was a rumor I heard while working reptiles at the dallas zoo, as the story goes a rancher in the valley had rattlesnakes on his land and never saw an indigosnake on the property, so he purchased a bunch "cheap" from Florida and let them go on to eat rattlesnakes. Fact or Fiction. These sure look like Red-Throated Texas Indigos to me! Very nice pictures of all the herps and habitat, great shot on the road. Which counties were you in? Starr, Zapata or down near Harlingen along the coast.
