New Dumerils Boa

[Quack]

I went to the Columbus reptile show today and left with a new dumerils boa:

The pictures don't show her true colors, though. She has more of a red-orange color. I'll get more pics of her and her enclosure, which is a 40 gallon, but she has a lot of plants/places to hide. I will be building a bigger one once she starts to outgrow the one she is in.

Very nice! Dums are great. You will love this one as she gets bigger. I love the white around the dark patterns. Congratulations.

Nice pick up. I like the Dumeril's, most of them are very sweet.

Great choice! Dumerils Boas are awesome snakes. A 40 gallon tank should be good for quite a while. Here is a Dumerils Boa Care Sheet (http://www.moonlightboas.com/care-info/care-sheets/dumerils-boa-care-sheet.php). If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them. Be sure to post some more pictures when you get a chance.

Thanks everyone!
I have some pics of the enclosure, especially the lid because my dad made it out of plexiglass that he had laying around:

The lid has layers of plexiglass with aluminum screen underneath so there is a small gap between the plexiglass and the heat lamp so that some heat and humidity escapes. There is also a slot for a piece of plexiglass that can slide under the heat lamp if the cage gets too dry, if all that makes any sense:yes:
I will post better pics as soon as she settles in and i get my camera back because i had to take these with my ipod.

Congrats! Dumeril's rule. My little one loves to burrow. Most the time all you see is his nose sticking out.

The guy that was selling her had her marked for 125 dollars, but i offered him 100 and he sold her to me. he was selling off his last three, and she was the last baby.

Beautiful Dum! And great deal too, mine were both about twice that much.
