I'd like to get a dumerils(but I havent' got the courage to ask my mom yet)and I've done some research but still have questions.

So from what I've read, adult dumerils need a large rat every other week? How often should a baby be fed?(smaller meals of course).Are dumerils very picky eaters?

For caging, a 20 gallon for a baby, but when its an adult, will a large plastic storage box work? I know rubermaid makes a 50 gallon storage thing that is about 43x21x18in. I would cut out the center of the lid and put in screen.

Will shredded paper work for a substrate?or would it be too dusty?

I don't know that I'll even be allowed to get a dumerils boa. But at least I'll be prepared, just in case.
