Same here!! That's exactly why I chose that avatar :). And that's hilarious :8::8:!!

Thank you! I hear they can sometimes be nervous. Haven't experienced this myself yet though.

As well as a tegu, since Sk's avatar reminded me of it.

Anywho, cool pictures! There aren't enough pictures of dumeril's on here.

Thank you, and I am so flattered that she's one of your reasons to want one :)!

Beautiful dumeril girl....

She is gorgeous. Is a dumeril a boa that one handler can safely manage for it's life time??

I would like to get one but am alone with providing their care.

I believe their docile nature makes them fairly simple to handle. It's an awesome way to get used to handling larger snakes as well. Even though she is quite heavy and a bit much for my size, I find her as easy to handle just as my other snakes are.

I haven't heard of a Dumeril's being a two-person handling job, but I would definitely see that would be the case if the specimen was growing to be 8 ft+. Fortunately, males do not reach the lengths that females do, so one person could feel comfortable handling an adult male without any assistance.

If you are interested, a male would be the way to go if you are worried about size. Dumeril's are slow growers, so it does take time for them (3+ years) to reach their adult lengths.

So you would suggest getting a baby and raising it up rather than buying an adult - just wondering

Thanks

Beautiful snake.

She's beautiful. We have a 5' male he's really cool but I think we're going to sell him I'm getting too many odds and ends. Lol

I wouldn't see why not, I purchased my first Dumeril's as a baby. But I definitely do not regret purchasing my big girl as an adult.

Sorry if this has been asked but what size enclosure are you using?

She looks really good Tiff! Everytime i see a pic of your girl it makes me want to get another big boa! Be happy to snake-sit her for 'ya anytime.... :D
