Dumeril's Boas The Dumeril’s Boa is one of the most well represented animals in captive reptile collections around the world. They are pleasant, undemanding captives that are extremely forgiving of keeper and environmental errors. Dumeril’s are beautifully colored in a variety of earth tones and have an eye pleasing and variable pattern. Unfortunately, the species was long ago written off as a “pet” reptile and relatively little emphasis has been given to selectively breeding this species for color and pattern . While they do make excellent pets, their value as legitimate projects should be reassessed. Herpetoculturists have long missed out on the incredible potential of these boas and we are seeking to change that. We are focusing our efforts on Dumeril projects that maximize natural highlight colorations (pink, orange, red, etc) and also Dumeril projects with exceptionally clean and clear and/or unique patterns. Caring for these animals is a joy, and we predict that this fantastic boa will once again see a resurgence in popularity. Click here is view available Dumeril's Boas
