I would like everyone to meet....
Miss Dixie Lee Du'Meril

A beautiful rose-tinted 7 year old Dumeril who wound up being "just my size".
:)
Thanks to everyone here who helped me make my decision to buy her.
It ended up being a lucky day for me and her.

Thank you!
Now I have to figure out how to photograph her so her colors show.
The iridescent effect 'bounces back' the camera flash and her rosy-peachy colors don't show up.
Weird....LOL

I'm really sort of loathe to expose her to the cold again, poor thing.
[it's sunny but chilly here, today]
She feels surpringly very solid and seems healthy, especially considering her prior "husbandy".
Himself is building her a proper home tonight and I can't wait until she starts over, living her life as it should be.

I woke her up [she's grumpy, now] and took her outside in a tub.
It's overcast and gray outside and this is the best I can get and it still doesn't do her pinkshiness justice.
Sorry.....:(

I'm going back to my usual 'week of no disruptions' so she'll settle in and get more calm.
Right now, handling her is iffy.
She's conflicted.
She hangs on to my arm for dear life but her head is darting around looking for safe hidey-holes, poor dear.
I really think she's never been handled much and at 7, it's going to be a bit more of a chalenge to earn her trust.
I put her back into her tub and turned up her heat to get her to go back to her "happy place'.
She's a very sweet Boa and it grieves me that her life, thus far, has not been how it should have been.

I truly hope you find one soon.
It's good that you'll be getting a juvenile so it can be raised and socialized better than Dixie has been.
Good luck!
