New Dumerils from Daytona

This is our baby Dumerils my son got at Daytona Sunday. We think she is very nice, but then again we're probably a little biased .

We have experience with balls and boas, but aren't too familiar with Dumerils. Anything in particular we should know about them?

That's a really nice Dumeril's! Digging the orange. I've got one and they are pretty easy to take care of. Just look up a care sheet. I really like the temperament of these animals in general and are one of the most beautiful snakes there are. Congrats.

What vibrant colors! Very nice! :gj:

Nice pickup. I just got one last night from a guy who didn't want it any more. She's a great snake already and has a great temperament.

I love the orange in yours!

Gorgeous! I love her orange.

Their husbandry and care requirements are about the same as a BP as far as temps and humidity goes. They do good on aspen because they will sometimes burrow and they pee alot, so make sure you check inside the hides every 1-2 days for urates. Another reason aspen is good because of the frequent spot cleanings. You can feed about every 10 days. Also you should use a little larger water bowl because they will occasionally soak themselves. Here is a website with some basic care info...

We got her because of that color, very pretty. And thanks for the links. It's always good to learn where to find more info.

Looks like you found what you were looking for! She looks nice man.
