Rob Zerkle, who used to work with indigos when he lived in Lexington, KY had a bunch of mutant burmese pythons born one year and they were relished by his adult indigos.

If it's an animal that fits in their mouth, adult indigos grab and swallow first and ask questions later.

Are burms really snake eaters? occasionally or regularly?
Seems there would be plenty of mammals and birds to keep them happy without worrying about bothering a snake.

I would think the nile monitors populating Cloral Gables would be more of a threat to, well, every animal and their eggs.

This scenerio (pic) has happened pretty regularly in the glades recently!
