New Baby Dumeril

So, in eager anticipation of the arrival of my new baby Dumeril gal next week, I would love to hear some of your stories about your experience with your first boa! I would also love to here some "eagerly refreshing the tracking website for the location of my package all night" stories. :P

I'm so excited for her arrival I can hardly wait. Let alone focus on studying for my finals. ;):snake:

You're going to love your new Dumerils Boa. I'm very excited for you. Here is a Dumerils Boa Care Sheet. If you have any questions once you get your new baby, I would be happy to answer them for you. :)

Thank you Paul! You've got some gorgeous babies there! :gj: Brazilians are just so pretty. Eventually I'm sure they will appear on my Next Purchase list as well. :)

congrats on the purchase. i just got my new dumeril on tuesday and she went into shed on friday so i havent got to hold her too much but what little i have held her she seems to like me lol. i just fed her today too and she's kinda a shy eater, she wouldnt eat while i was standing there but i walked away for like 3 minutes and it was gone, i didnt even get to watch any part of it lol.

i work overnights so since she was dropped off at 5 30 that night all the way until i picked her up i would refresh my package buddy app every 15 minutes to check on her. i was starting to get really anxious when she spent over 5 hrs in kentucky but she arrived right on time and was pretty eager to get outta that box lol. good luck keeping your mind on anything else.

Congrats! I have a couple of young adult dumeril girls I recently acquired from a member here that he just rescued. I have little experience with them and no experience with them as babies but even these rescues are very docile, very tame, gentle animals. Or at least mine are. They're very hardy animals and easy to maintain. They make great first pets, although I know it's not your first.

Do check out Paul's care sheet link. It's a great care sheet to follow (I do) and Paul is great about responding to questions you may have.

Have fun with your new baby. I'm sure you'll enjoy it :)

I can't wait to see. I posted in another thread that I was actually looking at care sheets and pictures online of Dumerils yesterday. I love the patterns and the colors of thoughs snakes. Can I ask who you are getting yours from? Enjoy your baby :)

Absolutely! I'm getting her from The Snake Pusher, Stephanie Laumeyer. She gave me an awesome deal on her, and was fantastic to work with.

thesnakepusher.webs.com is her website. She doesn't have any listed right now, but they are available if you ask. :)

And I will! I'll post pics after she gets here on Wednesday. :gj:

I think I saw your post actually, and we may have gotten them from the same breeder. Stephanie Laumeyer? :)

Just curious, what type of food did she take? Was it PK/FT or live?

And I'm trying to study, but I'm so distracted I'm not getting much done. :P
