How common is it for a cribo or indigo to get over 20 pounds?
I am kinda confused is the only diff between an indigo and a cribo the color and the size?
They are the same length but cribos are just a lot thicker like a python?
I keep hearing of monster 20 pound cribos but i never hear of indigos larger than about 12 pounds.
My guess is that it's unlikely to see a 20 plus pounder. I wont say impossible, but certainly unlikely

Drymarchon can easily get over 20 lbs if fed properly.
I have several males of different species all over the 20 lb mark.Most max out in the 15 lb range. Here is a shot of a Drymarchon m. rubidus male 5 years old @ 22 lbs taken a year ago. I have heard of specimens reaching the 30 lb range and 10 foot.

could a snake that size over power a man if it wanted to ?
No, they can do a fairly good job on mice though
Take care,

I guess I stand corrected; awesome snake Alan!

HOLY @#&*@#%$ ?@&%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are these the world's biggest colubrids or what (they are colubrids, right?)?!!!!!!!!!! That thing looks like a freakin King Cobra or something! I'm a "new follower" of the cribo and don't really know much about them, but what I can say is this...IMPRESSIVE. I completely understand the draw now.
BEAUTIFUL SNAKE, Alan.
MORE PICS PEOPLE!!!!!!
what draw can u understand?
"Draw", meaning the interest collectors have for them. I've heard them described as being very very intelligent, not to mention an awesome "show piece".
