A beautiful snake

Shot my first doe of the season in S.C. a couple of weeks back. Got out of the stand, put one of my tags on her, walked back to the stand and this one was waiting for me by the stand.

I saw a video of one swimming in the edge of the surf in South Carolina.
Beautiful state, the epitome of southern charm--unless they don't want you there--I was told proudly in Myrtle Beach that they had gotten rid of MS13 gang in ONE day! Good for them.

This dude is between 7 and 8 feet. He had a suspicious wide section about 30” long. I suspect that another snake was in the digestion process.

We have big Indigo snakes in south Texas and they definitely eat rattlesnakes. I caught and handled this one. It was about 7’ long and isn’t nearly as big as I’ve seen in the brush country.

I saw a Blue Indigo today while I was shredding a sendero in South Texas. They are good snakes to have around.

If there is such a thing but yeah. Best to have the non venomous ones eating the venomous ones.

We have several species of non venomous snakes in the US that thrive on eating venomous snakes. Here in the south east we have 3 species of king snakes, scarlet, speckled and eastern along with the indigo snake that get really big 8 feet plus and can pretty much eat any snake they want.

According to old folks around here the common black snake will either kill or drive away rattlers and copperheads.

Those black snakes are belligerent S.O.Bs
