Whats the longest length of the indigo snake?
–They can reach up to 8 feet, although some may get bigger. How many times do snakes shed? –Snakes shed as they grow, so some of it depends on how much food is available and thus how quickly they are growing. Studies have shown that indigo snakes shed every 30-45 days. In captivity they can live up to 25 years, so that’s a lot of shedding. Is an estuary too wet to have a wildfire? –No. In fact, we use prescribed fire in the marshes around the estuary to help maintain and restore these communities just like we do in the longleaf pine habitat. However, fire in the marsh is not as crucial to the existence of this habitat type as it is in the longleaf pine ecosystem. How tall do the trees by estuary get? — Trees directly by the estuary are typically short because of harsher living conditions (salt, flooding, etc). As you move into the upland areas, trees may grow very large, depending on the species. What is the largest pinecone? –In the southeast the longleaf pinecone is the largest.
