Due to some of the rules here at KS.com, I can't post a link to the the discussion, but Pierson just posted a series of pics from his trip to the Yucatan at that "other" field herping message board.

They found a small (3 foot) cribo up a tree in Campeche that is very orange, like the red one shown in Julian Lee's Yucatan book. Beautiful snake!

Here is a link to his photo.

Yep..unfortunately, Mexico does not allow any exportation of wildlife. They shut it down several years ago. The problem was that they did not have the manpower or funds to comply with the CITES export rules which says that they have to monitor how many of each species is exported, set limits and enforce them, etc. The only other choice is to shut down exports completely.

Probably not worth being a gringo in a Mexican prison over.

It's a close call though. LOL

A few shots of tequila for courage and maybe....naaa....

Well, anytime I travel to a new country, the first thing I learn in their language is how to say "How much is my bail?".
