    Just me or?

    As I look at other pictures of Dumerils Boas, it makes me notice how my girl differs a bit from others. What I've picked out is that my Dumerils eyes look almost "sunk in" compared to the more bug eyed boas out there. And her face seems more buff than slender? If that makes sense?

    Here's a picture I took of her tonight that shows off her eye. Does anyone else think it looks sunken in? Or is it just me?

    Just me or?

    Ratchet I've have really admired Aphrodite since the first day I saw her.

    A Dum is next on my list. I've passed over a few because they didn't look as good as Aphrodite. She set the standard for me. But I may just have to settle. But I'm in no hurry.

    I just did a quick search on Google and found plenty Dums with inset eyes.

    Some pics are hard to tell without blowing them up and may be subjective.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Oh, perfect! I guess I could have googled it too, I just like the conversation here.
    But thank you, I'm glad you like her so much! I was wondering if it was a hydration issue or something, but I guess snakes have the different facial features like people. I think you got some good example pictures, it's nice knowing it's not a husbandry issue causing it!
