SE Texas Guy..I think you've seen my thoughts before...All of the above are true...I don't think the Txn is in any trouble as long as they start laying eggs above gound to stay away from the fire ants!!..
Plus, I think most south Texans know what an Indigo is..I have never heard of anyone killing one because it was a "snake"...
Now a question..What's the Taxonomy difference between the Texas and the Mexican (rubidus) ss???

: This species is probably much less understood, bred or researched than the Eastern. From reading this board I would think there are no more than 20 or so successful breeders in the States. And since it is illegal to collect or own them in TX, this makes it difficult- Permits are NOT granted by TX. Although my experiences here indicate there are thousands more TX Indigoes in the wild than Eastern in their locales. This is true because there are still fairly vast areas of S.TX undeveloped compared to GA and FL. Gimme some feedback and tell me if my surmises are faulty- dont worry I have tough skin.:)
