The indigo snake is distributed in the Southeastern United States to Brazil. It is the largest snake in North America and one of the longest snakes in the snake family. Up to 2.8 meters [9.2 feet].

Indigo snakes feed on small vertebrates, including venomous snakes. The method of feeding is to bite to death with the upper and lower jaws or to coil up the body to crush the prey, instead of relying on the constriction of the body. Hissing in self-defense, tail wiggling, but not attacking.
