Another "interesting" characteristic with Dumerils is the on/off feeding. No need to try to put them on a feeding schedule, it won't work. They might eat like pigs for 2 to 3 weeks (or months) straight and the go off feed for who knows how long. I have a female that went off feed for a full year. My biggest female will only eat for me about every 2-3 months, she has gone as long as 6 months. Make sure to keep water available at all times, keep the temps steady and make sure it has a secure place to hide. Just be patient. I said this on another forum earlier this week "Some Dum's eat like sumo wrestlers and some eat like super models."

GOOD LUCK!!
