Hey there Bluerosy and fellow BJJ guy



I am into BJJ (off and on my injuries and work dictate attendance)



I have Dry's and Fla. Kings only.



Cardinal difference I know is that Dry's do two things that we do well and that is stopping circulation and the second is fighting smart, and very fast. The indigos are just so much more "with it" and intelligent than nearly any other reptile I have seen, my kings are just kind slower mentally. There are many different attacks I have watched my indigo execute, eg. sometimes bite and pull, bite around neck till opponent is out, press till smothered, bite and then hammer prey into immovable objects, grab for head and start swallowing alive, etc.

A dry's attack with the vise like jaws across the body is going to seriously stop slow down blood flow, if not stop it. When I push the collar of someones gi acroos their carotid away from me and pull down the label on the other side of the gi down, I really only knock out one carotid...but its sufficient. I was bitten by my indigo when she was only 3-3.5 feet and she crushed and cut through my hand that was unbelievable for her size. Also, the pressing attack of a dry just biting and smothering something down with its body is another pressure spot that can stop rodents breathing.

Kings for the most part, truly constrict. Both are unelegant street fighters with different styles, but, to me key factors are the intelligence, speed and intelligence of an indigo which don't seem to have been given much attention.

Saying all this, I do not know who would win, my indigo is about 4-4.5 feet now my S.Fla's both easily over five feet. My indigo probably outweighs either of them by a factor of at least three. I can honestly say they would have no chance, These are my only animals I admire them both but I respect them as filling different niches in their biomes, even when they overlap-noturnal vs diurnal, etc.

Seriouly Blue, I could care less who would win, but when you brought up BJJ I thought I had to share what I saw of them that reminded me of our style.



Obrigado!
