Eastern indigo
As i walk to talka few photographs of the sun setting a see what i though was a black racer crossing the busy highway. I run over to get him but was to late. A van stomps on his brakes and nails it. At first i thought, aw damn, well we both tried. Until i see him keep going and look in the side mirror with a smile of gradification. He had locked his brakes to Really for sure kill this snake. i have seen other rentless floridians lock brakes to twist up and kill rattlers. I was extremly pissed off, i walked over to the snake realizing it wasnt a black racer but a Eastern indigo. Try as hard as it could to get off the road as 1/3 of his body was just about smashed onto the road and twister up. I tell you i about cried, been looking for these threatned species for some time here ( 5-6 years) and the one i see has ben killed in front of my eyes. I tell this story for the fact this is happening all to often as i have seen. And causes great violence, a few incidents i have gotten into recently that almost involved a very bloody happening( hunting season) we where that mad. This must stop, and i tell you all please educate anyone you see about reptiles, even little remarks as eww there slimy. That can lead to that little girl or boy growing up with fear.
