The Georgia Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Resources Division says one of their wildlife technicians found more than what they were looking for during a survey in southeast Georgia.

According to DNR, back in November, a technician searching for eastern indigo snakes found a four-foot-long slithery specimen that had vomited out not one, not two, but three other snakes, including a live rattlesnake.

DNR said the snake had eaten, then regurgitated a second, and smaller, indigo snake, a young rat snake, and a juvenile eastern diamond-backed rattlesnake, which was still alive.

“This rattlesnake must have been a little too ‘undercooked’ for the indigo snake, considering it was still alive when it came back up,” DNR said in an online statement.

TRENDING STORIES:

Indigos are known for hunting other snakes, according to the department.

They said the indigo snake their technician found “had clearly swallowed and then expelled its meal, losing about half a pound in the process.”

While the rat snake was *****, and they thought the juvenile rattlesnake was too, it showed “surprising signs of life an hour later,” when they found it basking in the sun instead of looking for a burrow to hide in.

On top of their surprise at the rattlesnake still being alive, DNR said the snake had also recently eaten a large mouse, showing what officials said was “the indigo’s impressive hunting abilities but also the rattlesnake’s unexpected resilience.”
