    While this is all true and I just put my girl in a 41qt tub, just know you HAVE to have a bigger cage in the future, just make sure its planned for ahead of time!!!

    Don't forget to QT her away from your others too, especially her coming from an expo. My BF started his in about a 28qt size and it worked great for him.

    Are dums mostly terrestrial or arboreal?

    Dumeril's are ground boas.

    I have mine in a 4x2x2 cage and she will need to move up. She will likely end up in a 6x2x2.

    They like ambient much cooler than balls and you should aim for a hot spot of 85. Personally I would not keep a dumeril in a BP rack, because the temps are "okay" but not ideal

    79-81 ambient is far too high for a Dum, IMO

    Mine averages 74ish and she still spend a lot of time on the cool side. Her warm side temp is 84. I believe they really do need to be kept a lot cooler than some think

    My dums does fine with the higher ambient temp and even stays on the warm side a good chunk of the time!
