The only time she bothers to curl up in her hide is when she is shedding and during that time, she wants alone time. Not a big fan of adventuring on her own like my Colombian girl.Īs for housing, I have my Colombian girl in a Proline cage and she never hides. My little sunglow girl loves to just ride on me, plain and simple. My big girl has her spot above the bed on a shelf or she likes to climb the dresser and push everything off while getting up there lol. They both get lots of outside the cage time and they love to ride on me or sit on the bed. My big girl is 6' and the only way to get her excited is to wave a rat in front of her. I haven't had a Dumerils but I do got 2 BCI girls and they are like giant puppies. Some feed them jumbo rats some go for rabbits I'm sure it would be a problem with the dumeril? Not sure about the Colombians. Picture of adults would really really help.Īlso I don't have a source for rabbit and I'm planning to breed my own rats again so whatever I get much stay a rat eater. Would much appreciate input from you guys and maybe even owners of both species. Although the Scoria boa look amazing but way out of my price range. Most boa morphs are lighter color, I much prefer a darker snake or a snake with more pronounce pattern (albino is my least favourite morph of any snake). However I don't care much for the much of the boa morphs, I'm ok with the darker individuals of normal phrase but they ain't that flashy tbh. But from pictures and video online they see to not hide as much and adults are often seen kept on newspaper, my prefer substrate.

I like their impressive size but seem like the they ain't generally as chill as the dumeril but a better shoulder pet. Adding to that they seem to prefer colder temperature, because she will be kept in the same room as my balls I'm worry it might get too hot for dumeril and thus cause feeding problem. I already have a bunch ball pythons that like to randomly waste food, don't really want another problem feeder. I'm concern the beautiful dumeril boa will end up being a pet head (from what I read they either hide or burrow so only their head is shown. I have hope that this new addition with be the showcase animal in my snake room along with my coastal. However from rom what I have read dumeril seem to need substrate to burrow in and urate a lot more? I do like to see her as I will eventually have her in a clear front pvc cage. Columbian boa will get bigger than dumeril boa but their care seems to be the same. Im stuck between a plain old Columbian boa and the beautiful dumeril boa.įrom my my research both can be calm placid animals. But I would prefer a female for whatever specie I end up getting because of the general faster growing nature of a female. Would like to focus on my ball breeding project. With th the calm reputation that boa has I think they are good choice to add to my collection. Granted she has calm down quite a bit since I've had her but I realize she won't ever be a "gentle" and I'm ok with that. I realize that all snake are individuals, I already have a female coastal carpet that getting a decent size but still hissy nippy at the worst, head butt at her best and flighty as hell. What I really am after is a gentle giant.

Thus I'm looking to expand my collection and finally get myself the big snake I've always wanted. I've recently become a home owner I finally have the snake room I've always wanted.
