Re: getting a Dumerils Boa 0.1
All mine are mellow. They don't have any special humidity requirements since they come from some of the more arid areas of Madagascar. Males normally top out at 6' while females max at 7'. There are a few exceptions to this and I do have one of them but these exceptions are rare.

Re: getting a Dumerils Boa 0.1
I have one female who's 6'-7' long. She's very sweet, and loves people. I have no complaints about her
Any specific questions you needed answered?

Re: getting a Dumerils Boa 0.1
I have 2 of them as well. My male is about 5 years old about 6', and my female is just over a year old and about 30". They are both very mellow and easy to handle.

Re: getting a Dumerils Boa 0.1
Mines SUPER docile! She's never been defensive or anything. They're like bigger Ball Pythons  but these snakes move... Lol
4x2x2 will work for an adult. Mines 6'-7' and she's in an Animal Plastics T8.
Btw: my girl is eating one large rat every month. She's about 10 LBS overweight, though.
1 or 2 large rats a month will be good. Mines only overweight because of her stupid previous owner.

Re: getting a Dumerils Boa 0.1
My bigger ones all eat Jumbo rats. Even Black Betty, who is the exception to the size rule, eats 1 XXXL rat per month. None of them need rabbits at all.
They are all very easy to care for and handle as well.

Re: getting a Dumerils Boa 0.1
