1.0 Guerrero mexican indigo

[Joseph.j.smith4]

I had to move to NC for work and need to downsize the collection so I'm putting up my Guerro locality rubidus. Hes 8months old and is on a diet of rodents, birds and fish. Produced by Ty Farrell. Asking 1000. I'd prefer a local pickup, my new work schedule would make shipping really difficult. Located in Indian Trail, NC.

Technically anything south of the Texas border is referred to as a Cribo.

Technically anything south of the Texas border is referred to as a Cribo.

Technically, you would have to take it up with H.M. Smith, 1941. He named it, and he used the term indigo snake. In this case, cribo is the local colloquial common name.

Actually that was 1941. Rubidus along with the Texas erebenus and all subsp south are under the species designated as melanurus. To be accurate from all the melanurus should be referred to as Cribos even if found in Texas. They continue down through central america to south america but are called Cribos. It will be hard to get the common name Indigo out of peoples memory but technically today the couperi or eastern indigo is the only species really using that common name. Sorry things change Dr. Taylor.

No one cares Bill

True the day of the herpetologist/herper is over. Now no one wishes to look beyond the veil that separates heaven and earth and dare to pull it back and ask why. The majority out there in snake land just don't care.

However, you may want to care to get a copy of the original Mexican collecting permit required by USFW to maintain and breed Mexican reptile species. Need one on all founding animals brought in after 1973.
