Baby Dumerils Boa Overview
Each dumerils boa for sale is a healthy, proven feeder. Our baby dumerils boa constrictors for sale are fed both live and frozen-thawed medium mice. This ensures that they will accept either up arrival at their new homes.
The dumerils boa is a beautiful pink, orange and brown color. They can grow up to 9 feet in length and have a natural pattern that blends in with leaf litter. You may also want to check out some of our red tail boas as well.
Choosing the right baby boa will help start your relationship on the right foot and ensure you get a healthy pet. Avoid wild-caught animals, as they are often less docile than captive bred snakes and may be sick. When you’re shopping, check to make sure the enclosure is clean and only one snake occupies each cage.
Look for injuries, mites around the eyes or any gunk or buildup in the mouth. Listen for wheezing. These are signs that the snake may be ill. In addition, watch how the snake responds to handling; if it is fearful, visit other breeders.
The Right Enclosure for Baby Dumerils Boa
Your baby boa will need a well ventilated cage that can prevent him from escaping. Glass aquariums with secure mesh tops, or plastic storage tubs with numerous holes in the top for air, will work. Around 40 square inches is enough for a baby.
A young adult over 6 months old may need 2 to 4 square feet of space, while adults need closer to 12 square feet.
You should provide at least as many square feet of cage space as your snake is long. Aspen or newspaper make good substrate for the floor of the cage. Branches for climbing and a dark place to hide will be much appreciated.
Heat Source
Boa constrictors need an outside heat source to maintain body temperature. You can use an under-tank heat panel or a thermostat-controlled heat cable.
Place the heat panel or cable on one side of the cage to create a gradient with a basking area that reaches 90 degrees Fahrenheit and an overall ambient temperature of around 78 degrees Fahrenheit. This range will allow your baby snake to regulate his own temperature by moving throughout the cage.
Water and Humidity
Due to their tropical origins, boas need 60 percent to 80 percent humidity to thrive. Keeping a plastic tub of clean water that your boa can climb into and soak in will help him maintain moisture and prevent mites. Small bowls of water will raise the humidity. Consider a timed misting system for hands-off maintenance, or a spray bottle to mist your snake once or twice a day.
Feeding Time for Baby Dumerils Boa
Young captive boas live primarily on fuzzy mice or hopper mice; they need to eat only once every five to seven days. Overfeeding can lead to vomiting and a decrease in overall health. If your snake is reluctant to eat, try feeding at night or offering freshly killed prey rather than frozen. Once your snake reaches 3 to 4 feet in length, you can reduce feedings to once every 10 to 14 days. As he grows, you can introduce larger prey like rats, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. Rats have the highest nutritional value; guinea pigs have the highest fat content.

This order had a bit of a scare. My baby had shown up super cold and she didn’t even look like she was alive.
I was hysterical and Amir handled my emotions well. My girl came to within the hour of unboxing her and 2 days later she’s still going strong. Super healthy and active

So happy with the purchase of my male russo BP. He arrived safely, and was docile and curious right out of his shipping bag. He has been settling in nicely since he arrived 4 days ago. I would highly recommend Buyreptileonline.com and hope to add more of their reptiles to our family in the future. Thanks Buyreptileonline.com

This company has AMAZING response times to any questions or concerns. While there was an issue with our local FedEx person being afraid of water falling from the sky, the staff at Buyreptileonline.com were the consummate professionals in dealing with them to prevent future incidents. My new baby Russo is beautiful and inquisitive. I’ll be using this company for all my reptile needs

We got our female baby Russo last week and she’s been awesome! She’s absolutely beautiful, healthy, and eats like a champ. She was a little nippy at first, but is taming down nicely. We’re very happy with her, and with the entire experience of purchasing from Buyreptileonline.com

Recieved my baby enchi last Wednesday and he is absolutely amazing. Everyone on this staff was extremely helpful and polite. I’m sure I was a bit picky and annoying when picking my enchi but they handled it flawlessly and I will definitely be doing more business with them
