I love Indigos. Such big chonky snakes that are fairly friendly. They have such big beautiful iridescent black scales. I wish they weren't endangered in GA. I'd love to see one in person.

Herping (just the act of gathering and handling) would be illegal with Eastern Indigos. They could be fined $25k for it. Texas Indy’s ok.

Yall are straight bosses of the herp world. That indigo looked like it busted a huge amount of jizz on your shirt 😂. Thank you for all you do and the amazing footage you bring to us subscribers.

Ditto, Richard. Noah is def the G.O.A.T. KZfaq Herper in all the world! With Kyle and company at his side in south Texas . . . Who else could have seen/caught 7 Indigos in one trip!! Insanely Unbelievable! Utterly Incredible!!! After searching hours for indigos in south Texas I was only able to capture one . . . near Falcon Dam back in the late ‘70’s. Came close in hot pursuit of individuals outside Falfurrias , Mission and Rio Grande City.

Are you kidding me! Great video as always. My friend & I used to help when we were younger & now that I can't find anywhere to go, this really is exciting to an old fella.

I appreciate you’re staying so current on the scientific names, Noah. As I’ve shared with you several times over the last several years, I hope you are collaborating with professional herpetologists (particularly those specializing in geographic variation, taxonomy and and ecology/natural history. It would be a pity and a crime if the professionals weren’t learning the wealth of knowledge you and your allies are doing for herpetology. Kudos to Will for having started his formal research into Terrapene c. Carolina and Chris Leone with the snakes and turtles of south Jersey and the Pine Barrens.
