Snakes Alive! | Georgia Outdoors

On this episode of Georgia Outdoors; one of the largest snakes in North America is an icon of the south, yet the Eastern Indigo population is shrinking. See an in-depth look at efforts to boost Indigo numbers as well as other native snakes that make the Southeast home to one of the most diverse reptile populations in the nation.

I love these beautiful blue/black iridescent Indigos‼️I hope they are successful with the reintroduction of them and the long leaf pines‼️

This makes me so proud that people are dedicated to helping the Indigo snake not only survive but thrive.

I live in North Florida just south of the Georgia border in Gadsden county. And I've grew up seeing snakes all my life. I actually got the chance to see and pick up an indigo snake and had an absolute wonderful time in experienceing this rare reptile.

My favorite snake is the Indigo snake! Large, black, snake eater that's fond of eating Rattlesnakes and other venomous species! Just look how magnificent the Indigo snake is!

Snakes have always been my favorite animals. Beauty grace and efficiency. The perfected reptile. Millions of years of trial and error in evolution lead to a simple design that is capable of hunting all terrain including water, treetops, and inside prey burrows.

The narration of documentary was well delivered. Loved the indigo snake.

They are all beautiful animals just going about their day, taking care of their business. I am so thankful that there are people out there helping them to survive!

Thanks beautiful lady for teaching people about snakes, i think we should protect and respect animals because they belong also to the ecosystem. Learning people to be more concerned about animals would have a great impact on the environment, making our atmosphere more convenient.humans have killed more animals than animals killed humans, let's protect our environment and give our kids a better future.

We need more videos like this, so people can become used to their appearance and hear about their worth. Thanks.

Thank you for this educational video! Being afraid of snakes is lack of knowledge! I preach all the time to stop killing the snakes! And, by the way, the indigo is endangered again in Florida. 😔

Excellent video. Snakes have their place in the ego system and they are very important to us. The more we learn about them will make us appreciate them a lot more.

Funny thing is people hate snakes but they are one of the most reliable indicators of a healthy ecosystem and are in some areas keystone species.

Thanks Sharon, I enjoyed your video. Very good reporting on a subject that doesn't get enough attention here in the south. Keep up the good work!

[johnschlesinger]

Wonderful work these people are doing!

The hostess was great with handling the snakes and not nervous at all.

I work in a warehouse in Georgia and they have those glue traps in there. I rescued 2 baby corn snakes so far out of them. Luckily my boss let's me get them out I usually keep them until they shed. I usually use coconut oil to get some of the glue off

Learned something new today, still afraid of them, and did not particularly like them but learned something to appreciate them. Thanks for the video.
