I have only had my Dumerils boa a week or so now, but man do I love her. I also have my BP but the Dumerils is infact a lot more fun to handle, and not as skiddish. She's quite calm in my hand, and doesn't want to bite. Also, she is a veracious (sp?) eater. I had her for only 2 days in her new enclosure, and figured "What the heck, I'll try and feed her". Sure enough, I dropped the mouse in there and instantly BANG! Snapped and rolled, and had her food down in 5 mins.

I'd say go for it, I love mine.
