Last week, snakes were released into the northern part of Florida as part of an effort to reintroduce the species.


Twelve eastern indigo snakes were released as a part of The Nature Conservancy’s ten-year program. These snakes are listed as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act.


The eastern indigo snakes are apex predators, however, they are not venomous.
