In Reply to: What's the big deal over Cribo's... posted by Zachary Loughman on September 29, 1999 at 14:35:32:
: This is not an attack, but rather a legitimate question.
: I was at the Columbus show last weekend and whatched in disbeleif as someone shelled out $650.00 for two juvenile Black Tailed Cribos. All i know about these snakes is that they may be big and they are very closely related to the "Racer" type snakes. All experience i have had with snakes like that have been far from desirable. Please answer, and remeber this is not an attack.
: Thanks again,

The big deal about Cribos is that all the Drymarchon family of snakes have unique traits only found in them. I realize all types of snakes have certain traits that draw people to them. It just seems as though the Drymarchons have a more loyal following. They get to be quite large, over 8' which is a substansial size but not so large as to be unmanageable. For instance large boas and pythons that require help in moving. They are diurnal so you can watch them move about the cage. They have voracious appitites and will eat literally anything that moves that they can get down. When you watch them eat you would swear that they must be a very foul tempered animal, they get really aggressive. However when you take one out and hold them they tend to calm right down. Most actually seem to enjoy being held. Sorry but this is just the highlights of owning Drymarchons, I don't have the time to put it all down. Just look at the people's comments on this site and see the devotion to these snakes. Try one, you will probably end up with more.
