My new Dumerils boa :)

..and my new bearded dragon enclosure! It is a 4' long x 2 feet wide x 1.5 feet high. Comes with lighting and everything!! Its made of CD PVC which animal plastics uses for their cages. I got it for 120$ which was a good deal for how good of condition it is in.

I went to Repticon Atlanta today, and picked up a couple things. First my new dumerils boa :). I got her for 80$ which was a terrific deal! I haven't weighed her yet but if i had to guess I would say around 200 grams. She is in her tub settling in right now so I'm going to leave her alone for 3-4 days before I try to feed her. Buthere she is! She wouldn't sit still for any of the pictures so i apologize :)

Thanks for looking :) I already love my dumerils, she seems so calm, yet curious when handling her. Can't wait for her to get big.

She is beautiful. I really love dumerils boas they have such a cool pattern!

I love dumerils boas absolutely gorgeous. Nice cage too!

Thanks guys. She hasn't quite figured out that she can burrow in her substrate :P

Gorgeous Dum! Congrats on finally getting one! :gj:

Very nice looking. Grats. These guys are definately on the wanted list.

I just love the coloring and markings on dumerils! Nice pick up, congrats!

Nice looking little Dumerils. You are definitely going to enjoy her. Take a bunch of photos, one of these days you won't be weighing her in grams, but in pounds...:gj:

To everyone who has a Dumeril's, does it take them a while for them to figure out how to burrow? Haha cause mine is just chilling on top of her substrate right now and I've always been told they are big borrowers

Congrats! She is beautiful. I know I'm supposed to love all my critters but my Dum is really special to me. Have you picked out a name yet?

Edit: She'll probably burrow in when the newness wares off and she relaxes more. Mine hardly ever burrows but she is also an adult.

Yes I have! Peaches :D lol I sent a picture to my mom, and when my 7 yr old brother saw her he said she looked like peaches, (She has peach colored spots on her back, don't know if you can see them in the pictures) so, peaches it is.

That's what I was thinking, I mean c'mon, who can be afraid of a snake named Peaches? ;)

Love Dumerils. I would love to have one myself.

I promise you will only hear good things about them. A good sized snake, but completely manageable and docile. :gj:

Update: I just weighed her, and she comes in at a massive 132 grams :P

Very nice.. and yes it did take my Dum a while to figure out that she could burrow.

Okay cool. I have an RBI hide in there that my BP outgrew and she is using that at the moment.

I just gave mine two hides from day 1, and never had any issues, but also, he was already 4 y/o...

Does yours burrow?

Mine is usually burrowed under the cool hide with her head sticking out.

What a beauty! I have been in constant research mode and have been deciding and then changing my mind and making it again. I've gone through the list:

RTB (just gonna be too big I think),

Blood Python (hear more bad than good but perfect size)

Hog Island (nothing bad just smaller than I'd like)

Dumerils boa (perfect size even if on large end, great demeanor, maybe not as active in tank but great outside)

What I'd like to see is if anybody has pictures of them (Dumerils) in a display type enclosure.

Aaron, I haven't heard from you for a bit, but I saw your BP setups and they were great. I'm looking to maybe shoot for adult size setup right away and provide several hides and comfort zones if needed to balance the size of the larger tank. Are there any decent tanks that are not $300 or more? I have the "Boaphile" guy not far from me and could look there, but my downfall is I like the glass tanks and have had EXCELLENT luck with the 40 gal we have for the BP. I've put a lot of work into insulating it and have what I think is a great humidity system.

But if any of you have Dumerils tank pics I'd love to see them.

I love the fact that the above pic has a ground boa in branches. Fun setup and pretty snake.

I'm shooting to get a 1 or 2 yr old female.

Here's the set up for my female Dumeril's. It's just an Animal Plastic's T-10 cage (4'x2'x15").

Pretty snake! Definitely on my "to get someday" list! I love their pattern (it reminds me of anchors).

That is a nice set up. Is she full grown, and roughly how much was the cage?

Yes pictures of display cages for Dumeril's would be great!!! I have mine in a 28 qt tub right now, but I plan on moving her into a 4X2X1 enclosure fully grown.

If you go to a reptile show in your area, look at enclosures there, I got a great quality 4X2X1.5 enclosure that is made out of the same stuff animal Plastics uses (I bought it used of course) for 100$! Which is a great deal. So check some Reptile shows when they're near you :gj:

Just remember, Dumeril's are super sloooowwwww growers. For example my Dumeril's is 132 grams and she is a year and a half old. :rolleyes:
My BP is 712 and she's 7 months old lol

Thanks. She will be 3yo in September and is over 5ft. She has quite a bit of growling left. When I got her she was just under 4ft. I'm figuring she'll grow maybe a foot a year until she maxes out around 7/8ft.

The cage was $195 but I got a few upgrades that brought it up to $270 NOT including shipping. Animal Plastic cages are a bit pricy but worth every penny. http://www.animalplastics.com/
