132 | Texas Indigo Snakes with Samantha Dillon

In this episode, Dr. Jenkins sits down with herpetologist
Samantha Dillon to talk all things Indigo Snakes. A Florida
native, Samantha has a deep-rooted passion for these iconic
reptiles and a long-standing involvement in habitat restoration
efforts. Now a master’s student at Texas A&M University,
she’s focused on studying Texas Indigo Snakes and Texas
Tortoises. Together, they explore the ecology of Texas
Indigos—covering their distribution, movement patterns, habitat
preferences, fascinating ties to tortoises, and reproduction. If
you're a fan of Eastern Indigo Snakes, you won’t want to miss
this deep dive into their western cousins.
