they are one of my fave species of snakes them and mussies but people compare them to boas. A boa can kill a man or a child. We all know an indigo cannot. That was all I was saying. It was just false information being spread by breeders and owners. They are beautiful mammal like snakes and huge. Friendly also but I found the cribo was kind of nasty when I held it. I just thought spreading false information is wrong. The cribo is even more beautiful than the indigo snake just I found it kind of bad tempered. A small boa can be eaten by a king snake.
