Thinking About A Dumerils, Have Questions
Hey guys, its about that time that I start looking for a new animal and im interested in dumerils, but dont know too much about them
I was just wondering: are their required temps are the same as red tails and balls? Is their feeding response as strong as red tails? Are they as active as red tails or more shy like balls?
personal experiences and opinions are welcome!
thanks

I keep mine the same as I keep my balls, except I give the dumerils bedding to burrow under.

x2. Mine does great that way.
Their temperaments are similar to most boas. I find that my Dum is a bit more shy than my BCIs, but not overly so. I think it's just part of their nature, being a burrowing species. But she isn't anywhere near as shy as my BPs. She handles well and is curious. They are really nice snakes to have.

Ditto to the top 2, I actually have my dum in the same rack as my BPs.
Same temperature and humidity, just a thicker layer of bedding so she can burrow.
At first she was a really picking eater, but her nickname is the garbage disposal. If my adult Bp won't eat, I give it to my dumerils. I get mine out anybody wants to see a snake. She has an awesome personality and is super curious. Love them.

They are slimmer than a BP, but heavier bodied than BCI. They are a ground boa while BCI tend to be partially arboreal. They are considered smaller than the average Colombian BCI, however they do have the potential to get pretty large. A female can reach 7-8 feet in length with close to 9ft not impossible. They tend to weigh significantly more than a BCI too thanks to their heavier structure. A male is usually a bit smaller at around 6-7 feet.
