Kevin M. Enge is collaborating on a paper on the status of the federally threatened eastern indigo snake in Florida and Georgia. I am interested in any sightings of indigo snakes on public lands, particularly those since 2000. I will also accept sightings on private lands, as long as a latitude and longitude or directions are included. The private-land sightings can be used to test our GIS-based potential habitat map. The minimum data required are the name of the public land, the year of the sighting, and the name of the observer and his/her affiliation. If you are unsure whether the snake was an indigo, please don't send me the sighting. However, if you have a photo of the snake, I would be happy to identify it for you. I have attached a montage of indigo snake photos to help with identification. Sightings from the Keys or the Panhandle are particularly critical. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thanks.
