Society in Tiger works to preserve indigo snake in North Ga. mountains
0625INDIGO1
Guinness, the eatern indigo snake at The Orianne Society pictured June 7 in Tiger, is used in education programs and for the conservation group’s breeding program, part of its work to restore snake populations in the South.
There’s a den of snakes in Tiger, and all the South should be happy about it. North Georgia’s Orianne Society is dedicated to the conservation of reptiles, amphibians and their habitat in the South and the nation, working to preserve a rich natural history of the region’s less-loved but no less important creatures. Among them is the eastern indigo snake, the largest snake in North America and a threatened species throughout its range, now mostly limited to southeastern Georgia and Florida.
