The Texas Blue Indigo will kill and eat every Venomous species of snake found in Texas. They have another food source that makes them very beneficial to keep around. While Blue Indigos will feed on many of the same small mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Amphibians that other local snakes eat. The Blue Indigo uses its massive size (commonly 6-8 foot in length) and overwhelming strength to kill their pray using brute force and their powerful jaw strength.

It is one of the largest snakes in North America, smaller only than the rarer and protected Eastern Blue Indigo found mainly in Florida and Georgia. The Texas Blue Indigo (Drymarchon melanurus erebennus) is a Protected non-venomous snake native to Texas and portions of Mexico.
