Indigo snakes are currently protected under the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission which makes it illegal to possess, harm, or harass them. Populations in Alabama, Texas, and South Carolina have been largely lost due to habitat destruction, poaching, and killings. These burrows can be used to hide from predators, fires, and extreme temperatures. They use a variety of different habitats, including longleaf pine-turkey oak sandhills, pine and scrub flatwoods, dry prairie, tropical hardwoods, freshwater wetlands, and coastal dunes however, winter survival, especially in northern portions of its range, depends on the availability of appropriate shelters which are primarily Gopher Tortoise burrows. couperi is reported as extending from the Coastal Plain of southern Georgia to peninsular Florida and the lower Florida Keys west to Southeastern Mississippi. Typical threat display includes hissing and shaking of its tail as a warning. They are not aggressive snakes and will bite only when threatened. Indigo snakes will also eat small gopher tortoises when they are available. They feed on a broad variety of small animals such as rodents, birds, lizards, frogs, toads, and other snakes, including rattlesnakes. Indigo snakes are diurnal and actively forage for prey. This is thought to be due to intraspecies competition from the males. The species in this genus are sexually dimorphic, with the males being larger than the females. This snake genus, Drymarchon, means 'Lord of The Forest'. They have smooth dorsal scales, and several color variations, including a glossy blue-black color.
