I prefer to research more than one source

From what I know, boa males tend to have bigger spurs, but it is not a guarantee. If you really want a properly sexed animal, popping and probing are by far the most accurate when done correctly. I'm not saying I know everything about dumerils boas as I've never had one, but it is the general rule is not to trust spurs alone for most species.


Anyways, very pretty dumeril OP!

I did see the same info on various websites, but I am not gonna post links to them all, google it for yourself...hehehehehe

That's awesome she shed like that. Snakes always look so amazing after a shed. I know my Ghost girl practically glows in the dark after a shed. Now I'm curious about this sexing business. Some information seems Dumeril specific followed by information related to snakes in general disregarding the Dumeril. I know in general every one agrees probing is the best but it would be cool to work with them enough to where you would become comfortable gauging from the spurs alone.

I got so so excited when I saw that she had started her shed. Felt like it was a "meant to be" partnership between her and I. Love her! Just have to come up with a good name!

Thank youuuu! I'll get some better quality ones after she settles in. Those were just taken with my phone.

[MrSnake21]

Np anytime!!

I tell ya snakes boas in general definitely know there owners, when ever I have mine out for a while, I put her back in tank she dead stares at me, I believe you found some type of relationship with it to shed in your hand!

[M&NSnakeDen]

I've never really felt much of an an actual connection with any of my BPs. I love them all and I'm so excited about what I can produce. It's a definite passion. With this girl, though...I dunno. I just adore her

[MrSnake21]

Yeah my boa Lucy, is very unique we have some connection everyone says.. They see it. I fell asleep w her on accident n she stayed around my neck w her head down on my shoulder, when I woke up she put her head right next to my mouth on the side n looked up lol

Well I don't see kingsnake.com posting false information

Dumerlis and Candoia are not even close to the same thing...about the only things they have in common are that they're both snakes and in the boa family xD
(okay, maybe a touch more than that, but you get what I'm saying ;P)
