    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Link to some photos of wild indigos

Thanks for sharing, Scott!

The photos are great and it is always a pleasure ot see photos of Drymarchon in the wild. Four D. m erebennus in four days! Now, that makes for a great herping expedition!

Thanks again,

Jeff
 
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.

Cheers
