what animal would eat a 8 foot indigo sn

There has to be some animals that would love to eat a snake like that and have the ability to easily kill it, wherever the indigo snake lives?

Someone must know something about adult indigo snake predators!

those above animals mentioned i think are only predators to young ones i was talking adult indigo... I dont think a scorpion would attack and kill 8 foot indigo lol neither would a red tail hawk or skunk

8 foot snake is a big animal

Length is not an issue it is girth as there are eight footers that are old and skinny.

Continued from yesterday, Bear, Mountain Lion, 15 foot Indigo, small child with an ax, poisoned rat, garage door closing on ones head, Bald Eagle, Badger........oops tired again

I remember reading an article years ago about Ross Allen eating a coral snake while on a Boy Scout survival hike. Maybe he would have dined on an indigo also. Remember the indigo draped across the header of the Ross Allen Reptile Institute flyer?

As amazing as you might think an Indigo is, something as simple as a Fire Ant will attack and eat an Indigo. A common pet store rat will also attack and eat an 8 foot Indigo if it is left in a cage with a non feeding Indigo! It makes me think that wild rats from time to time would take advantage of a non feeding Indigo.........

Would be an alligator...an alligator would gobble up even an eight foot indigo if given the chance...

Some birds of prey may also kill an adult indigo and eat it...

Adult indigos don't have very many natural predators, and these two are just the ones that popped into my head...
