New Dumeril's! (Yup, another Dumeril's thread, lol)

Ya kinda like a BP but I find them alot more relaxed than BP's. I think we are only going to buy 1 more BP when my buddy's hatch and that's it for us. Going to focus more on boas. Don't get me wrong, I still love bps, my first snake was a BP and I love her, but they tend to get too picky and finicky for me. Next boa pickup for us will be a BRB, would love to get a female dumeril in the future.

The BP I inherited from my sister is about as chill as I've ever seen a snake. I'd heard that about BPs, but had not realized just how relaxed they can be until she gave him to me.

A lot of my fave snakes are boas, the Dumeril's being one of them so I'm stoked to finally have one. The BRBs seem awesome but typically out of my price range. I was looking for a Colombian rainbow but could not find one locally, and I don't know what the pricing is for one of them.

I went to refill the water bowl for the Dumeril's. She had her head out of the hide and when she saw me going in, she just looked at me and cautiously backed up a little, but still in plain sight. That's good.

I was told I could get a BRB for under $200. I love the orange and reds and the iridescence.

Yup, that's what they go for around here too, but I was hoping to spend no more than $200 for the new snake and setup. So far, I'm under budget so I'm doing good. But there will always be room for a fifth snake, down the line..

Woo-hoo! Got myself a good feeder - I just offered a small rat pup and she took it right away. Very happy about this

Thanks!

I just took her out to change out the paper towel and some of the bedding, she was much more easygoing than last time - almost like she's beginning to remember me.

Glad she's working for ya! I just fed my boy the other day and took him no time to get a med rat down. He was sure hungry though, he was camping out right in front of the front plexi window for 2 days!

I only have ball pythons. But maaaan that is one good lookin' Dumeril's!

That's a really nice Dumeril! Congrats on getting her! I am picking one up myself this spring. My first boa. Woot!

Congrats on the new little one. I have a pair and I believe my female is pregnant now. They are a very active snake even when adult while being handled. I gat tagged a while back by my male, it was my fault though, I reached in and grabbed him whithout letting him know I was there first. I guess I startled him. They are a great snake, congrats again.
