hi I was wondering what dumeril boas are like. I really want to get another snake and I think they are cool lookin. Are they docile and the same to care for as red tails?

i have one myself. i love my dumeril. he is so laid back and lets you do anything with him. eats great and very smart. i say smart because he has learned to take f/t hoppers from the palm of my hand, without striking for it. he just eats it out of my hand like a puppy

i think they are much better than a red tail. i could never trust red tails. i had one that never bit me for years, then one day while he was around my neck, bit me in the face for no reason.... ever since then, he was a 50/50 shot on being friendly or not. i later gave him away to a breeder.

Dumeril, highly recommended!!!!

How big do they usually get

giambi4343 · 01-25-11, 11:44 PM

uaually 6-7 feet on average. they get a little thicker than an adult ball python.

i'd say mine's almost full grown. he might get another 1-2 feet MAX.

that's my BP in the small tank behind him.
