I love our dumerils. in my opinion, you really can't go wrong. they are very sweet and easy to care for. My only advice is don't overfeed them. they have very slow metabolisms and will get fat quick! Good luck!
I would believe that without hesitation. I have never even seen one strike at anything but food. (now watch..I'm gonna get but by mine tonight haha) but really they are hands down the calmest snake I have ever seen/owned and it doesn't change as long as you treat them right.
