Dumeril's Caresheet?

I've completely fallen head over heels in love with Dumeril's boas, and I'm trying to decide if I should get one or not. Thing is, it seems a lot of the info online is contradictory, so I was wondering if anyone has a link to a good, accurate caresheet.

Help a girl out? :D

I've never seen many caresheets for them that were any good. I use all the same guidelines as the Bci one here, but keep the humidity slightly higher is all.

Word, what this guy said! :rolleyes:

Great snakes.

What size do them get to?

My 3.5 year old females are around 5 feet.

my buddy (tmartin2347) has a Dumeril's and he is the coolest boa, very laid back with a great personality.

Thanks!

Hubby says I'm cut off for a while on new snakes, but I think a Dumeril's is going to be my next non-BP addition. I held a couple down at our local pet store, and they're not only the most beautiful boas I've seen, they were incredibly laid back. And after buying BPs, the prices look pretty nice, too! ;)

Dumeril's are FANTASTIC. They're ambush hunters so provide them with PLENTY of bedding to bury under. They need about 55-60% humidity, and they average around 7 feet in length. I use cypress mulch for my Dumi and she LOVES it. It's actually hard to try to find her because she's so well buried :D

They can be confused with Madagascar ground boas, but the think the MGB has more red than the Dumi.

They ARE a little skittish, and you might struggle at first with figuring out a way to feed... but once you find what the snake likes they're quite possibly the best eaters.

When I first got mine, I couldn't dangle the mouse up and down in front of her. I had to lay it down so she could see just how big it was, and she'd eat it on her own.
