Hello,
I do not post much on this forum but find myself looking to fieldherping in Iquitos Peru but no guide knows cribos or mussaranas by description or latin name.
Anyone know what the Spanish or even Portuguese common names are for these guys?
Promise to post pic if I can find some here in the jungle.
Matt
Cribos are often called Zipilota in Spanish.
Mussuranas in Portugese are muçurana, limpa-mato, cobra-preta
Drymarchon corais corais - papa-pinto, canina
I know of no particular name for the yellowtail cribo in the Iquitos region. The mussurana is locally known as "cassadora negro" = black hunter. Terry Vandeventer
