Taken about 15 feet up in a tree in Zavala County, Texas, in Nov. Tough photo subjevt to get to. Definately an Arborial spps. on occasion.

That's probably the nicest Texan i've seen. Had it not been for the fact that you said it was found in Texas, I might have believed it to be an Eastern.
Really makes you start to believe some of the rumors about Easterns being released there.

Yeah, when I first saw that photo, the first thing that popped into my head was "couperi. Then I read the text....

This one was way out in the middle of a Ranch near LaPryor, TX. He was about 5 ft. Right now is the time of year to see Indigoes down here in South Texas, so maybe I'll get more photo ops in the next few days.

A while back someone posted some pics of a dry' ssp. swallowing another snake up in a tree.

I think these guys are the ultimate oportunist... They'll eat stuff down in holes, swimming in streams or ponds, or up in trees... or out of our hands.

The magnificent shots posted of the rubidus swallowing a huge Trimorphodon bisctatus, were generously posted by Chris Harrison, who so generously posts many great photos for us to see, such as the DOR rubidus and fresh skin shed posted today.

Those erebennus shots are magnificent as well.
I love seeing such photos, though they leave me stewing in envy!!

Thanks a bunch Jason and Chris!!

Great shot, Jason! Looks just like the DOR I saw in Dimmit Co. this summer. Even has that slightly grayish on black hue that I remember. Quite different from the one I saw in Medina Co. earlier in the year. Seems as though the central Texas populations have much more brown than the southern ones.
