• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

Recently acquired a pair from a friend, he purchased a group of adult breeders in a large stack of enclosures, he only needed the enclosures, but seller would only sell as a package. He's not really a boa guy and was going off of what he was told, I'm not that great at sexing and wanted to get some other opinions. Had a few friends palpate and they both said male. He's got some small spurs and a nub tail, but at 7'2" and 20.2lbs, he has to be the largest male dumerils I've ever seen

He looks a tad overweight IMO. Durms can get very large (back in the late 90s there were some 10footers at prehistoric pets in fountain valley). I'd either get it probed or take to the vet to confirm it's a male, I wouldn't trust palpitation on an adult boa as a means of sexing. Spurs/tail are good indicators but not always 100% accurate, I had a female boa with the biggest spurs I've ever seen.
 
Yea, the dude has rolls and I'm putting him on a small meal diet, the female is the opposite. I have a late 6' female in my freezer with spurs about the same size as his if not larger and my existing 5' 3 year old male has spurs even larger. Definitely considering taking him in for a vet sexing
