New Addition

I just can't help myself, I see something I want and for the right price and it comes home with me. :P

I got this pretty little girl today when I went to the reptile store for some crickets for my cresties. From what the owner told me it seems that she hasn't been handled much, but she's still a sweet little girl. The problem is, instead of trying to bite me, she just musks on me. :puke:

I'm going to have to work with her to reach the point where I can handle her without feeling sick from the smell. :P

Here she is in her temporary tub. I have a 30 breeder I'm going to clean out and put her in this week until I buy some permanent caging early next year. Let me know what you think of her. :love:

Thanks! She's a Dumeril's Ground Boa. She's still just a baby. What amazes me about her is how heavy bodied she is. I'm used to BPs and Red Tails but she's like somewhere in between. :D

Thanks! I really like her. There was another female at the store that I almost got. She was a little smaller and she had a lot more color too her, but she was also darker. I really like how light this one is. :)

She's awesome, the body type was the first thing i noticed about her since shes a boa, what are their personalities like compared to a RTB?

So far I've noticed that when she's stressed she musks instead of trying to bite like my RTB did when I first got her. Unlike my RTB she doesn't seem too interested in my hand when I reach in to touch her where as my RTB will follow my hand movements. From what I understand Dumeril's tend to have very gentle personalities where as RTBs can have attitudes some times. I'll be able to give a better comparison in a few weeks after she's had time to settle in and I've been able to interact with her more. :)

Interesting, im eager to hear whether or not she is as intelligent and curious as RTBs are.

Beautiful Dumeril's.... Great pickup...

She is beautiful. You guys are killing me with the Dumerils. I am really trying not to get one. Seems like every time I get on the Bp.net lately somebody has gotten one :P I think their colors and patterns are so awesome. Keep us updated with mom pictures please :)

I'll let you know how it turns out. She does seem curious but she seems more tentative than my RTB. I'm not sure if that's stress related though.

Lol, it was actually some of the pictures of the adults that cemented my desire to have one. I'm sure I'll be posting lots of pictures of her as she grows. :D
