Biggest native snake in US a fearsome 9 feet is vanishing, Georgia study says
"The eastern indigo is North Americas biggest indigenous snake, growing to 9 feet, and it is found only in coastal Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, experts say.
I have seen some that were 25 ft. long in South Douglas County when I was an employee of the state highway department 47 years ago,
Uhhh I believe someone is over exaggerating just a little......

So many ppl exaggerate snake sizes...I think it makes them sound braver to others for having survived the meeting?

I live next to a large pond and nature reserve. I was walking my dog to a grass area close to the pond. It was early in the morning. I accidentally stepped on a large, beautiful black/blueish snake. We both freaked out and it ran into the bushes near the water. At the time I had no idea what it was. After looking it up online, it was an eastern indigo.
That was 7 years ago. One encounter. I still hope to see one (without stepping on it) but no luck. Most Floridians don't run into them at all, including herpers. I hope biologists will be able save and conserve them. Back then before I became a reptile keeper, the sight of that snake stays in my mind because of its beauty and size. It would be a shame to have these animals slowly dwindle and disappear from the wild.
