I am glad they are both eating well for you. Congrats

Those are some beautiful pics of your lil guy... man... I need a new camera.

I never did find much information on them on the web. I just keep the temps and things like I do for my BPs and it all seems well. I do use a lot more substrate so that he can burrow into it but thats about the only difference. You are so lucky that yours will eat from your hand... Mine likes his food on a plate and the room has to be completely dark before he will even bother with it. So basically he eats em cold.. ick.

I have read somewhere in my travels that a lot of the loss in interest in the dumeril's results from a lot of inbreeding and genetic defects that have come about because of it. Plus you can't get them from Madagascar anymore as they are an endangered species. Who knows. I love the dumeril's and think they are beautiful snakes, but I have to admit mine has been a little more frustrating than my BP's that eat anything and everything (practically) with out even looking at it twice. Granted we haven't had him that long so we are still working out the kinks.
