I'm setting up a large reptile enclosure and have found various logs and branches to furnish it with. How can I make them safe for use. I would prefer not to buy the over prices logs sold in the pet stores. I'm setting the cage up for a Timor monitor.
The nonvenomous snake is playing an important role in saving her species, the endangered Eastern indigo snake. Once commonly found throughout Florida and the Southeast but quietly disappearing for years because of development, the Eastern indigo is considered important to the region's ecosystem as it feasts on rattlesnakes and other venomous serpents.
The Eastern indigo is a drastic contrast to the quintessential "bad" snake in Florida: the Burmese python, an invasive species that has raided the Everglades as if it were an all-you-can-eat buffet. The python has devastated the ecosystem, wildlife officials say, by devouring native animals including alligators, birds, bobcats, deer and raccoons.
"There's no comparison between the two," said Fred Antonio, director of the Orianne Center for Indigo Conservation, located on 25 acres surrounded by the Seminole State Forest off State Road 46. "It's like comparing a Florida panther and tiger. One belongs and one doesn't."
The center, which opened more than a year ago in a temporary facility and moved into newly constructed permanent quarters last month, has about 75 snakes, Antonio said. He plans to get more and subsequently release their offspring in the Panhandle, where indigos have particularly vanished from the landscape. He hopes that'll bolster their population after decades of decline resulting from loss of habitat from the state's development boom.
