Talking Getting A Yellow Tail Cribo!!!!

Well I'm finally getting a Yellow Tail Cribo. I've been wanting one for quite some time. It's hard to find a captive bread one though. Found a beautiful female out in Texas and jumped at the chance to get her. Sent payment today and will have her Tuesday! I'm quite excited. Here are some pics of her from the seller.

Ha, I have no experience with drymarchons, but I've read they leave behind some serious waste.

I've heard the same thing, apparently DM's have a much faster metabolism than most snakes, and the smell is apparently unique too. Looks like a nice one though, how old is it?

She hatched in 2014 and is approximately 4.5' long.

Re: Getting A Yellow Tail Cribo!!!!

Odor depends on diet mostly, the fast metabolism is what most people mention. Have you figured out what type of substrate your gonna use.

The seller said she's been kept on aspen bedding since hatching. I use aspen for all my snakes so I'll use it for her as well. I'll put a humid hide in her enclosure as well to help with her humidity requirements.

The seller feeds her a varied diet of rats, chicks and fish.

Sounds good, the best experience of cribos is feeding them, like Americans at Golden Corral

I look forward to their voracious feeding. Should be fun with her.
