I'm glad you shared that as well, because I really wasn't aware of that either regarding the smooth greens(vernalis).
Ya know, I had several Indigo's way back then too , and it seems to me they ate some pretty good sized meals as well, but I would also tend to agree that their heads are a little more like kings and milks with rather indistinct heads compared to their neck size, and that they can't stretch their mouths open to the point that ratsnakes can for example, but they certainly can "FORCE" the meal to conform to their necks with their fantastic neck strength though, this I have witnessed many, many times. They just keep cramming the meal in until it conforms and consumed. My floridana, and Outer Banks are renowned for doing this when they eat larger prey items. Their necks are without question WAY more powerful than all my other types of snakes.
