Dumerils Boa Q&A

[hilabeans]

And even though they say dumerils like low humidity, they are wrong. Luna loves it when i mist her or soak the cypress. She then just digs around in it and will stretch out under it. I have found she actually prefers a more damp set up plus it also makes her skin nice and soft. When i kept in low humidity, she would feel kind of crunchy when i picked her up.

She's beautiful. What do you keep her humidity at, on average? Would you say she's your favorite out of your other boas?

I actually deviate from what other say of 40-50% humidity and keep her around 60-70%. I keep the BP, dumerils and GTP around 60-70% with drops to 50% or so. The other boas and the retic are kept around 70-80% humidity.

Hard to pic a favorite really as all my snakes have individual personalities. But i mean if it came down to a MUST pick, i would probably have to say its between Rosey since i have had her for over 5 years as a baby, or Caesar as he just a character and the only snake who actually comes out to greet me on a regular basis and seems to love being pet/having interaction, or Gina as she is just awesome looking and I wanted a BCC for a long time but couldnt find the perfect one i liked. Then there is Pat the GTP since i have wanted a GTP since i was a 12 year old kid looking through snake books in the library.

I also keep my dumerils at least 55% humidity and bump it to over 60 during shed. If it's much lower, she actually gets some bad sheds LOL. (bad meaning not in one piece, and there are pieces of shed strewn everywhere)
