They used to be in the Murdock, FL area, but as you know, it's not the same place it was 30 years ago. An indigo snake in that area now probably wouldn't last 10 minutes before someone chopped it's head off or ran over it with a vehicle.
Funny how a species can be protected against anything EXCEPT developers and housing developments. Which certainly is the case in most of Florida, it seems. Even the "protected" gopher tortoises are fair game when the land they prefer is wanted for development.
Never seen any around here, but I have heard they have been spotted near the St. Marks area. But not recently, as far as I know. This area in north Florida should be crawling with them with the national forest so close, but just does not seem to be the case.
