South of sa is hit and miss as far as development, some cites are growing but most of the land is unpopulated and privately owned. There is alot of development in the cites but the land inbetween most cites is pertty much un touched due to most people moving to the cites for work, etc. As far as owners etc knowing about the indigos most do and most poeple that live in the outskirts and country are mostly intune with nature, That is most people dont kill them for the sake of them being a snake. They are more apt to let them be to take care of rodents etc. That said like every where else we have haters that kill every thing they see but thats a vast minority. The people that populate this part of the state are mostly country and have lived that way for a while(farms, ranches,etc) and have respect for the land and whats on it. That is if you have permission to be on the land as for humans. But thats once again not always the case. As far as identifying them by looks probly not but there is a effort to protect the species and they are not extremly rare i have seem 3 this year, and only been back 8 months. Awasome snakes and if i lived any where but here i would own them. Hope this helps feel free to email me if needed. Scott
