New dumerils boa HUGE

I just recently acquired a 5 yr old dumerils boa female that is just enormous. I will post pics soon, but without exagerrating at all she is at least 7 feet(I am 6'3 and her tail was touching the floor and and a good 3 feet was still resting on my shoulders. And weighs over 40 pounds. I couldnt pass up getting her because ive just never seen one so massive before!!!


So, now Im curious,how big is the biggest dumerils boa you guys have seen?

the biggest durms I've ever seen were when I lived in SoCal at Prehistoric Pets, they had to be 10' and much larger around than a 2liter bottle.

I never understood when people would say durms are on the smaller side! those things were massive!

I have seen them easily in the 9ft range.

There is a female near me that was 10'+ 3 yrs ago
Dums are far from dwarf's

Thats amazing. I have worked seen several over 10 yrs old and the largest I had seen was in the 6 foot range. I think I am going to look into prehistoric pets stock for a male companion for this girl now. She actually looks like she could gain a fair bit of weight without being obese so I hope she hits that 2 liter mark....shes going to be just perfect for educational programs...

I read somewhere that this might be a locality thing, and snakes in the northern parto f madagascar tend to get bigger. I wish people kept the localitys different lines were collected from better in the past. It would be interesting to know whats really going on here genetically/locality wise.....

Just like any other boa that gets the food pounded to it
More food = big fat boa

i have what is supposedly a male dumerils that is pushing 9 foot,and probably 7-8 years old.
