I really love these snakes, they look amazing and everyone tells me how great they are. But I seem to be having a difficult time finding any available for purchase. Any recommendations?
Yeah. :) Shoot me a PM. I have a few 2012 babies left for sale.

Re: Dumeril's boas
my 2010 dum bit a kid at the Columbus expo. it really sucked but the parents were great about it. she is normally a sweetie and i'm pretty sure she was just stressed from the long day. I hadn't ever taken her in public before and wanted to see how she would do before I took her to any presentations that I do. She failed. but shes still a sweetie. it looked purely defensive and was at the end of the day. also the kid reached out straight at her face while his mom was checking her out. idk still doesn't change my opinion of dumerils being really sweet natured. everyone has a bad day.

Re: Dumeril's boas
Their patterns are beautiful and I love their large heads. Our local reptile store has 3 and the female is as thick as a 2 liter plastic soda bottle.
Do any of you Dumeril's fans ever consider the sister Madagascar ground boa? From what I've read the Dums is actually more prone to climb which is always cool. The Madagascan GB is typically larger and has more pinks in it's pattern.
I was oh so close to picking a Dums.
Their natural habitat is being destroyed so it's great that a lot of people are die hards for them.

I did - then I saw their price.... :P
The amount of pink is relative to the snake, although it's true that generally the Madagascar ground boas do have more pink. But my baby Dum has TONS of pink, lol. She is prettier than most MGBs. But I digress....
I am also glad Dums have a solid following. I plan to pick up a male for my girl in the near future. :gj:

Re: Dumeril's boas
That price is a big deal isn't it? I would actually pick a Dums over a MGB based on the fact they are said to be more "arboreal". The fact that there are dedicated owners that will breed them will probably eventually produce something so beautiful they will be impossible not to want.
Like I said before I was so close to picking one for our second snake. I'd like to see some pictures of them in their natural habitat or in a nice cage setting.

Dumeril's boas
I have had my girl for about 4 months and never had a problem feeding her. She eats every time, in fact any time I go in the snake room she comes out of her hide and begs for food. It's pretty funny actually! She has the best personality! I need to get a pic of her doing that and post it.
