Just curious. Red tails are probably the most commonly owned boa, but I dont want a snake that gets that big at the moment. Red tails do have one of the best over all temperaments of any snake you can find in my opinion. But they do get quite large. Dumeril's get nice size, but not huge, have one of the COOLEST patterns of any boa ( once again in my opinion ) , have the temperament of a red tail, and are great eaters. But when I told my other snake owning buddies I got a Dumeril's boa, their responses were ( what the heck is a Dumeril's boa?) haha so I'm just wondering why they aren't more popular if they're such AWESOME snakes??
