This snake was found in a rat's bundle in an old garage that was converted into a hay loft. I have been looking for Mexican milk snakes and was surprised at finding itin the pile. Do younger Texas indigos not have a brownish head? The only youngster I have ever seen was about 24" long and did have a brownish head, and some pattern to it. This snake was absolutely blue-black with no pattern and a whitish belly. Not blue-gray as I have noticed in the older animals. I will attempt to rephotograph it but find it unlikely it will still be around.
