The Eastern Indigo Snake: A Hidden Gem of the Southeastern Wilds

The Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon couperi) is a creature of mystery and majesty, often overlooked yet deeply important to its native ecosystems. Stretching up to 8 feet long, this nonvenomous snake holds the title of the longest native snake in North America. Its iridescent, midnight-blue scales shimmer like liquid obsidian, giving it an almost otherworldly beauty.

Found primarily in the southeastern United States, particularly in Florida and parts of Georgia, the Eastern Indigo Snake is a keystone species. It plays a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, often preying on venomous snakes like rattlesnakes (yes, they’re immune to the venom!) and helping to regulate the populations of small mammals and amphibians.

But this incredible species faces challenges. Habitat loss, road mortality, and the illegal pet trade have pushed it onto the threatened species list. Efforts are underway to conserve its habitat, including longleaf pine forests and gopher tortoise burrows, which the snake often uses for shelter.

Why should we care? The Eastern Indigo Snake isn’t just a snake—it’s a symbol of the interconnectedness of life. Protecting it means protecting an entire web of biodiversity.

Next time you hear about conservation efforts in the Southeast, remember the Eastern Indigo Snake. It's a reminder that beauty and resilience can thrive in the most unexpected places, as long as we’re willing to fight for them.

It is now widely recognized that snakes provide important ecological services to humans. However, they have No Mercy and strike whenever.

Today, September 19th, the "International Day of Attention to Snakebite Envenoming" is celebrated.

The date, created by a coalition of organizations working for global health and tropical medicine (BRASIL, 2022), aims to raise awareness about the huge (but still little recognized) global impact of snakebites.

The United Nations - UN, through the World Health Organization - WHO @who (WHO, 2020), established snakebite envenoming as a neglected tropical disease due to several reasons: difficulty of access and efficacy of antivenoms, underreporting, quality of information on deaths and others.

According to WHO (WHO 2022), "4.5 to 5.4 million people are bitten by snakes annually: of these, 1.8-2.7 million develop clinical illnesses and 81,000 to 138,000 die from complications.

In Brazil (BRASIL, 2021), the average number of snakebite occurrences in recent years is approximately 28,000 notifications per year and 116 deaths per year.
