>>Anyone know WHY these Indigos are still so protected?
>>
>>i mean, i see tons of pics on the field herpers forum from people that are not even looking for them. lots of people see them frequently. i even saw one by accident about 9 years ago while visting florida for the reptile expo .
>>
>> i bet field studies to determine how many Indigos there are per square will prove they aren't rare nor close to be endangered..


The thing about indigos is this.....
A couple law makers heard about or may have even saw an indigo eating a rattlesnake......These tunnel visioned law makers thought they were the best snakes on the planet and they got them protected.......I think it has nothing to do with populations........
