have any of you encountered a huge black snake going across your property? I'm talking 8 feetish. my uncle called saying he just saw the biggest snake he's ever seen going through the fence line. no pics, he was in a blind doing some scouting.

he bullshits a lot so i dunno wether to believe him or not.


just researched and looks like this may have been it, ill tell him not to shoot at it if its true they eat rattlers
black indigo

Black Mamba would be my guess.

lots of big indigo snakes in south texas. they're relatively harmless/docile with people.

it just seems out of place for that kind of environment. i wonder if years ago they were brought over from the african jungles or some shite.

Definitely a blue indigo. They have encroached from Mexico and are welcome to stay. They get huge. They will wipe out the rattlebugs. I will see if I can find pics of these monsters.

Not to get Technical but if it was in South Texas then it was a Texas indigo snake. If it was in Along the coast of Mississippi or a small portion of LA then it's a eastern indigo snake or a blue indigo.
