During a survey for federally protected eastern indigo snakes in November, a wildlife technician caught and tagged a 4-foot-long indigo snake in southeast Georgia. The technician discovered that the indigo snake had regurgitated two other snakes: a young rat snake and a juvenile easter diamond-backed rattlesnake. [DOWNLOAD: This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up ] The rat snake was *****, and at first, the rattlesnake was thought to also be *****. But about an hour later, it surprised the wildlife technician by showing signs of life. It was later seen basking in the sun. The revived rattlesnake also had a noticeable bulge, which indicated it had recently eaten a large mouse. It’s not clear why the indigo snake regurgitated the two snakes, but officials said it lost about a half-pound during the process of losing its meals.
