There is no doubt that this is a TX Indigo, that it is eating a Western Diamondback, and I'm pretty confident this situation was photographed of a wild snake (particularly clear when you see the full set).
The little you can see of the land in the full set looks like South Texas as well.

That's one patient photographer! That must have taken an hour or more to swallow.

Why would there be any speculation that this was taken anywhere else?

It won't be long until someone gets this photo in an email saying it was taken by a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan! :lol:
