Information and Care Sheet for the Dumerils Boa
The Dumeril's Boa (Boa Dumerili) is a truely beautiful snake, and due to their relatively small size (they tend to be a little smaller than Boa Constrictors), ease of breeding, and docile nature, they are very popular pets. The color pattern consists of a gray-brown ground color with darker patches, forming an effective camouflage against the leaf litter of the forest floor of their native habitat.
Synonymous with Acrantophis Dumerili
Size of a Dumeril's Boa
Adults usually grow to 6.5 feet in length. Males usually have longer flatter tails, while females tend to be larger overall.
Feeding Your Dumeril's Boa
Young snakes can be fed on fuzzy mice weekly. The prey size should be increased as the boa grows, never exceding the girth of the snake. Adult specimens being fed on large rats or rabbits can be fed less often, once every 10 - 14 days is adequate.
Caging Requirements for Your Dumeril's Boa
Housing/Habitat: A boa vivarium of approximately 6′ length by 2′ width would be a minimum suitable for an adult Dumeril boa. They are a terrestrial species although branches should be provided as they will climb on occassion and will sometimes hunt from the trees in the wild.
Housing, heating, lighting and water requirements are per for Boa Constrictor, except that the Dumerils boa requires a higher humidity and so a wet hide filled with damp moss should be provided and changed regularly, and the enclosure should be misted with water, especially when the snake is shedding.
