    Re: Another dumeril boa vs Columbian boa question

They are housed in the same rack, fed the same frequency, and handled all the same. One female is almost twice the size of the other currently.

    My vote always goes to BCI over dumerils. My largest albino girl is so puppy dog tame that she doesn't even strike at rats anymore. Just slithers over and slowly eats it.
    She's probably getting bored with them lol. One of my girls would just grab rats and eat them, not coil them but after I fed her her first rabbit yesterday, she went bonkers for it. She slammed it, coiled it and got all hissy when I tried to pick aspen off of it and pulled it away from my hand like I was going to take it from her lol. She never even cared if I did that with her rats, she would just keep eating it. And I agree, cant go wrong with a BCI, they are the puppies and 2 year old kids of the snake world....keep them away from tables as they try to pull everything off of them that they can reach when you aren't paying attention lol.
