- In the most rural and forgotten stretches of the Southeastern United States lies an ecosystem that once spanned across 90 million acres. The Longleaf Pine Savannah… this ecosystem holds biodiversity that can be found nowhere else in the world. One of the species being the Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon couperi). In this documentary, the Caveman Wildlife Crew will take you into the world of Longleaf Pine Savannas and Eastern Indigo Snakes along with the Orianne Society and the Orianne Center for Indigo Snake Conservation. These two organizations are doing incredible conservation work to save Longleaf Pine Savannah Ecosystems and Eastern Indigo Snakes. You’ll get to meet some amazing people working at these organizations and the work they do for conservation.

Thank you all so much for your support! We’ll see you in the next adventure!
there's so little long-form content centered around snakes in such a non fear-mongering way. thank you, so much.
Great work with this project, such a unique species and ecosystem that definitely need more attention and conservation dollars. Looking forward to more CZcams content!
Agreed!!! That was our aim with this project, to bring more attention to the Longleaf Pine Savana ecosystem and the real need for more conservation money there! Thank you so much!
Some great stuff! Amazing content!
Thank you!!!!
Absolutely my favorite snake, such an honor to meet one in the wild!
I had an Eastern Indigo snake as a pet when I was a child in the 1960's. Bought it from Bill Haas at the Miami Serpentarium. What a wonderful animal. Very chill, very inquisitive, never bit anyone. I gave him to the Cincinnati Zoo when I went off to college and he ("Shadow") became the star of a local children's zoo program on TV. He was so gentle that kids would be handling him on camera every week.
Such a professional and informative production. Thank you guys, you don’t know how seriously important you are‼️‼️‼️
Unreal. That’s all I can say! Great work guys 🙌
Love your video very much, and I cannot wait for another video coming out soon. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
This is a cool video thanks for coming to earth tomorrow with cinna bun an johnson
Thank you! And of course! Johnson and Cinnabon had a great time!
What a debut! This was absolutely unreal guys, you all absolutely outdid yourselves. Unlike *some* channels that start out on CZcams with a shoddily filmed, poorly presented video about Canada geese, you guys came out the gate with a masterpiece of a conservation documentary. As usual your passion comes through clearly and abundantly, you guys are all natural on-camera talents and gifted presenters. Seeing Ben and Kevin and so many others people who I recognize was really cool, you really did a good job of highlighting and promoting the people on the front lines of indigo conservation. And I can’t get over those snakes, they’re truly among the most impressive reptiles in the world to me. Amazing work, I can’t say enough great things about this piece!

I don't know man, the people shoddily filming geese often times have the best passion, knowledge, and encouragement to help people like us get started on here. And they also make kick-butt content! You guys freaking rock and we've gotta get the collaboration going sooner than later! Our goal was to highlight the people on the front lines of conservation and their passion/mission! Thank you so much you both.
We already have our sights set on Georgia, we’ll make it happen soon!
The combo of highlighting the wildlife and people behind conserving them was something truly special my friend! Greatly enjoyed this high quality doc and see conservation through education! Fate tells me we’ll meet one day you absolute stallion!
This is one of the greatest videos I've ever seen, just amazing, did not feel like about an hour of watching! Can't wait to see what's next for you guys on CZcams!
Hey, thank you so much! You have no idea how much that means!
This project is so lovely!! It is filmed so well and your excitement is infectious, and it so educational too!!
I wish that I could give this video more than a thumbs up. Outstanding work! Impressive is an understatement.
Indigo snakes are just wonderful animals all around.
I have always been fond of the indigo snake, would love to find one. I really have loved experiencing the long-leaf pine ecosystem down if Florida the past few months. Great Video, great debut, this was EPIC.
Thank you! It truly is an amazing ecosystem!
Damn good job guys. I'd never guessed this was your first full video. You did great and I look forward to seeing more stuff from yall down the line.

Dude, that was unreal! What a great way to start off the CZcams channel. I can't wait to see what else y'all have in store. Just the beginning of an awesome crew with an awesome mission. Good luck y'all!

Good job🌈🦄🐱
Thank you!
Your documentary was top notch I enjoyed it a lot
This was an amazing series Caveman.
Shout out to Dr. Stone at Alabama A&M University for putting us on to Long Leaf Pine forests. Appalachicola is a majestic place and fun to “herp.”
Not gonna lie, seeing these 3 men getting started filling the gaps that Irwin left is amazing. You guys are so wonderful keep going and when you have your own conservation find another to take your place 😂
What an amazing experience!
The video about the ghost dune snake made me so happy I had to find you
These guys are so placid. Tell you what at our previous residence we had them living on our property for almost the entire time we lived there (22 years) because our yard had holes from someone that had buried vehicles there at some time in the past for them to den in. And of course we had plenty of critters for them to eat as well. In those years we never saw even a single tooth. And they got so used to us that they made absolutely no attempt to leave when they saw us but in fact we'd give them some water and they not only approached but actually seemed like they wanted to be picked up so we obliged. They'd curl up on our laps I suppose for warmth and when they got warmed up they'd saunter off on their merry way. One of them had to have weighed at least 25 pounds and he was about 9 feet long. His body was about 4" in diameter and he was just super friendly. What gorgeous snakes and especially in sunlight they have this purplish hue about them. We never made any attempt to cage or contain them. This was in Palm Springs, FL (adjacent to West Palm Beach). Often our Great Granddaughter at the time would come and tell us that one or more was on the front porch and we taught her how to slowly approach them. She'd sit down next to them and they'd crawl all over her. She loved them. She's now 18yo and recently told me she'll never forget that experience every child should be so fortunate.
this really makes my autism happy
Great work!
Shit homie u tha black Steve Irwin Fr Fr

Awesome... looking forward to following your channel :) (Tip: do a side view, not back view of you while interviewing :) Hope your channel takes off :) Yay!
Awesome vid can’t wait for your next one! Any ideas on what it’ll be on?
OMG 😃 this guy sounds exactly like my nephew 😃😁😆🤣💯💯💯💯💯
Awesome as fuck
Thank you!
What type of degree would someone get to do work like this?
The Sciences are a good start! Especially biology!
What a beautiful snake! What is the difference between this snake to the black snake?
Steve quote...rip brother
Is there ANY chance you can upload your instagram videos to youtube? As a teacher, I LOVE your energy and your clips but in my school district Instagram, Snap, etc are not allowed through the firewall.
What’s the bump under her scales on her side?
I seen a video where a Inigo killed a diamondback Rattlesnake the rattlesnake bit it but the indigo was immune to the venom and with its snake bits it bit the rattlesnake and broke the rattlers back and dragged it off to eat it
I am hoping by re-establishing the Indigo population it will take care of the invasive Burmese Python population.

when you say it is the only captive breeding project in the country you are mistaken. I know of many people breeding indigos and cribos.
Yes you are correct! However, the OCIC is the only breeding program in the world where the goal is specifically reintroducing them back to their native environments! Dr. Bogan addresses this during his interview!
