Here's an old friend that hadn't come for a visit in a while, so I went to see her for a change. She's the second largest of 6 Dumeril's that a friend has, all of which are under 5 years old and exceptionally well-mannered. Enjoy!

I had the opportunity to work with about 15 or so of these at the breeder. All were well behaved and gorgeous!

Thanks for sharing!

They are stunning snakes, indeed. I get more and more green with envy each time I see them, lol.

I would say this particular female will easily spend the majority of her life around the 8 foot mark, perhaps creeping up around 9 feet as the years pass and possibly hitting 10 feet in her old age. She'll be 5 years old this fall, and as you can see she's got a good start to being a large girl.

Yea, all the dumerils we had were as cool as the redtails, practically the ball pythons of the boa world!

I would like a big boa , I was thinking male , one that goes to around 6 foot and not too chunky , how do the males of this species go ? Are they all very docile ?

Either a male dumerils or a male redtail would be great from the description you state you want. Both are very docile.

Its more the chunky factor as it doesn't so much matter in length as corns can be 5-6 ft , but don't get chunky . Don't think I could manage a heavy 6-7 footer lol

I'd stick with a Rainbow Boa in that case. I've seen common Boa constrictors get over 9 feet many times.
