I have a unicolor cribo, a species similar to the indigo snake. Its 5.5 feet long and can get 9 feet plus. This species is more active and alert, with a higher metabolism than most snake species. It eats mice, rats, snakes, frogs, and birds. It is the most active species I have ever kept. It can swallow three mice before my boas or pythons can swallow one. The key is it doesn't constrict, it just grabs them and starts swallowing them alive. This is the coolest species I have ever kept.

If you have a kingsnake that you think can eat my cribo, bring it, I'm looking for free food donations. :}

Nice...I miss my indigos

I had an indigo a few years back, but never kept more than that one. Also had some black tailed cribos at a shop I worked in. Awesome snakes and I love their feeding response. Mine would grab the rat and pin it against the cage wall or substrate and kill it with brute force. Awesome snakes, but their fast metabolism and frequent defecations make me reluctant to get more.....Also where's the pics??? I want to see it.

Cribos are great snakes but are deinitely NOT illegal....the only Drymarchon that is restricted at all is the Eastern Indigo.
