    Re: Dumeril boas

    My dum is 4 years old and about 5'10". Females get much larger than males. Males stay in the 5~6' range, and females tend to be in the 7~8' range.

    My female fit well in about a 3'x18" enclosure until she was around 3 years old.

    Also, males can reach sexual maturity earlier, but that doesn't mean they stop growing. Dums grow until they're 5~6 years old actually, before the growth rate tapers off a bit. But they technically continue growing their entire lives. So yes, they grow slowly relative to other boa species.

    I was wondering if I could like keep him as a baby in this cage for now and upgrade when he grows as I heard hey are slow growers reaching sexual maturity at 3 to 5 years.

    Yeah, that size will work for the first ~3 years of its life. I'd personally start out with a yearling or older though, because babies are known to be hard to get started on eating.
