Dumeril's boas.. by far the most calm snake I encountered.

Right now I'm handling my Dumeril's boa and each time I do she just sits there and is pretty calm. Her body language is also calm too. She's just an all-around calm snake. She flickers her tongue in a slow manner, she moves her eyes like she's relaxed, and she just clings right onto my hand and sits there until I move her. Really, if you ever wanted a calm snake that gets no longer than 8 feet long, the Dumeril's boa is the best choice. Over that, their patterns are insanely beautiful.

Also, if you ever read any care sheets or reviews on this species and they say it can be an aggressive snake, that really isn't true. These are the most calm snakes I ever have encountered and not at all aggressive unless you make them mad by messing with them.

I love my dumerils. But I have heard from some friends that they have ones that can be grumpy and nippy. But mine are both puppy dogs.
