Is that a dumerils boa?
Yes. My nice 2yo girl. Time to get a BF for her to get ready in couple years.

I know you’ve mentioned your sunset sands in other posts and they are quite unique, even in the sand boa arena. I’ve been eyeing the couple of calabar boas on MM. Just not sure I want to deal with imported/ WC animals. As always, great looking stuff @westridge!
We have acclimated a couple of WC Calabars (although the one in the picture is CH). Be prepared for the extra cost of vet work, especially repeated fecal tests and parasite treatments. It can also be challenging to get WC animals to start eating. We had to try a number of different things to get them to feed, and a few months later, one is still not consistently feeding. If you do decided to give it a try, feel free to reach out for tips.
