According to this article the East Indigo (like the super niffty kingsnake) is immune to rattlesnake venom. This being the case rattlesnakes are part of its diet.
Here is a photo from the link above of a eastern indigo carrying off a rattlesnake.
Factzoo also talks about the 7 breeds of Indigo snakes: Yellowtail, Orizaba, Mexican Redtail, Eastern Indigo, Unicolor, Blacktail, and Margarita Island. I did not realize this when starting this blog. So it is very important that while I continue my research I ensure the information shown here is only about the Eastern Indigo.
