‘Scuze me… we gotta indiGO! 
Our biologists and partners reached a milestone when the 100th eastern indigo snake was released at the reintroduction site today! These handsome federally threatened snakes likely no longer occur in the Florida Panhandle, so this ambitious project aims at restoring historic local populations. Eastern indigo snakes are apex predators and have a varied diet which includes a fondness for consuming venomous serpents. Native snakes are important since they help maintain healthy ecosystems. A total of 107 snakes have been released at this site over the period of six years. Photos: https://bit.ly/3Kj8dcH
