Here are a few threads about them that have info on them
This one is about dumeril boas vs rosy boas and their differences, and has a few pics.
This one is about dumeril boa breeding and has a link to a good article.
General info...
- they get about 6-7 ft as adults, but some females can get larger
- adult dumerils will feed on very large rats or rabbits, depending on how big yours gets
And I found this about dumeril boas vs red tail boas...

Comparison Between Dumeril's and Red-Tail Boas
The past five years I have been specializing in breeding Dumeril's Boas. Throughout this time I have come across a lot of what I consider to be misinformation. A lot of people consider the husbandry practices for Colombian Boas (Boa Constrictor Imperator) or the True Red Tail Boas (Boa Constrictor Constrictor) the same as the care for Dumeril's. Stated in the book, "The Living Boas", " In captivity the boa is kept much like the red-tailed boa…"(Wells 46) However I do not believe they are anywhere close.
Comparison Between The Two Species
Dumeril's Boas are between 12-18 inches upon birth, whereas Colombians are about 12-20. Dumeril's will start shedding about an hour after birth for their first time and may also take their first meal the day they are born. One female that I produced in 1999 ate for the first time 8 hours after birth, she was the largest of the litter at about 18-20 inches. Colombians take about 7-14 days to shed and start eating. Litter sizes in Dumeril's can range from 6-22, averaging 12 with the largest I know being 28, as compared to Colombians whose average is about 25 neonates.
In their natural habitat, Dumeril's are ambush predators that are often found lying under leaves or in rock outcroppings, for extended periods of time, waiting for prey. Colombians are more active predators that track their prey by scent and scaling trees in search of food In comparison, Dumeril's are not known to climb trees. Both species are nocturnal, however, Colombians boas will normally accept meals during the day and Dumeril's will normally refuse day feedings until a year or so of age.
Dumeril's overall are a much more inactive snake than Colombians, spending much of their time laying in the cooler rock formations or underbrush to avoid the intense heat of the sun in the desert climate. Coming from a tropical area, Colombians are provided with protection from the elements by the forest canopy.
Also the rainfall varies between climates the two species come from. Dumeril's, coming from a desert like climate, receive very little rainfall and must be able to withstand long periods of drought. Colombians coming from a tropical environment, receive regular rainfall.
