Your pretty girl has grown up nicely. My favorite in your collection. Well, maybe not, your GTP is pretty awesome. Maybe a tie for me.

I️ love that this is one of the first things that popped up when I️Google searches “slow growing Dumeril’s.” Vigil is so beautiful! Her head shape and eyes are just extra, extra cute. Glad to know I’m not alone in the struggle. I️ pulled my Dumi out today and she just seems so small. It feels like she’s hardly grown since I️ brought her home in March. She’s she’s every two months since then, but she is still small compared with others her age. I’m sure it’s because she hardly eats, but I️ just want her to hurry up and be a big girl who can sit her giant head on my lap while I️ watch cartoons! She’s been 187 grams for several months and is only 29 inches at a year old.

Gorgeous snake, well done and nice progression thread.. by the way not all 5.5ft boas are small, my fella (not sure on the strain)is around that and almost 4" thick and 5 years old!-)

Aw thanks!
That 187g seems so small, but I think still a fair size. I got my dum at 2 years old and maybe 500g (I weighed her back then but I don't remember exactly). Hopefully yours eats more often soon and can put on size!

Lol true! What kind of boa is yours?

[redshepherd]

I was reminded I haven't updated in a little while again, so here are some!







It's kind of hard to measure her exactly, but I'd say she's around 5'10" or maybe exactly 6'. She's around 4.5 years old now. I don't have an exact birthday, since I was just told she's 2 years old when I got her in August 2015. So I've been counting her birthday as anywhere between March~August 2013.

I'm honest not sure what type mine is, he was a rescue. People have said he has hypo but I'm unsure, his colouring would suggest he is at least part island dwarf but who knows... He is pretty and docile tho!-)
Your girl looks great in the latest pics, stop making me want more snakes lol.

[redshepherd]

She's in there somewhere! LOL I provide her a giant mount of substrate in which she's always hidden at the very bottom. There's normally an XXL hide on the left, but I removed it for now.



Do you spy her? :o


Giving her a spray! She sometimes seems to enjoy it and drinks the "rain water" haha
