Well, at one time or another, clelia, spilotes, pseustes, etc have all been referred to as "cribo".

In some parts of the Caribbean and Central America, cribo is a term that is roughly used to mean "snake" in general.

Unlike the word "drymarchon", I don't think you will find a precise meaning for "cribo". My understanding is that it is nothing but a regional slang for snake.

I'm old enough to remember the 1970's (or maybe it was the early 80's) revolutionary group in Grenada named "CRIBO"............
