what is so special about an indigo?!?

poison1981 Nov 27, 2007 07:48 PM

I need to know what does an indigo snake have that other snakes dont? I was told that a 8 foot indigo could easily over power and kill an 8 foot pine snake or rat snake or even retic/rock python!

WHAT does this snake have that these other snakes lack? Someone please tell me! Thanks

They are snake eaters and they are opportunity hunters also. They are muscular but no more special God's other creations................

Who told you they were special?

a man who keeps 1 as a pet

why are they so much more powerful then kings and rat snakes that are the same size as them?

you need to see one eat a live snake for yourself, then you may get it, as Sighthunter said, they are snake eaters, the king cobras of the colubrid world without the venom.
