Boom.

Well...you didn't specify that it had to be BEFORE you gave us the answer
Exactly what I was trying to say. I just got wordy. LoL!

If you were to go to Grenada or most other Caribbean islands that have large colubrids and asked to see a cribo, God only knows what species they'd show you.

The term comes from Africa and made its way to the Americas with the slave trade.

So the term is not exclusive to drys.
I think I should get rep points for effort............
