I've seen a bunch at our ranch in south texas, but never anything close to that color. Usually they look more black or a dark, dark blue if anything.

They are a threatened species in TX because they roam during daylight hours looking for food and then dumb-asses who don't know any better see them and kill them.

Just last Friday I walked up on a blue indigo about half a rattle snake down. The blue was about 6-7ft long and the rattler looked about 4-5ft long. We were in south texas quail hunting at the time.




I also have a 14 sec video of it chomping down.

The last reptile show I went to had an Eastern Indigo for $1,400. Texas Indigos go for around half that. If I see one of those bitches, I'm catching it, not filming it. They look a lot more black than blue. If the light hits them a certain way, they may have a blue sheen to them, but that pic is a bit misleading.

They usually don't look that blue. When you see them IRL they look black.
