I decided to buy the juvenile Dumerils from Prehistoric pets after James agreed to keep the snake for a few weeks to transition him to f/t from live food. James is confident this wont be a problem, but if he is unable to get him to eat f/t prey the deal is off and my money will be refunded in full. They are charging me nothing to keep the snake and work on switching him to f/t which I think is fair. I believe the other Dumerils at Prehistoric Pets that is described as a "young adult" is actually shorter than 6 feet. Those who advised me that a 6 foot snake should weigh much more than I was told this one weighed were of course absolutely correct. I think the snake is actually closer to 4 feet or so. Looks like a healthy size in photographs. Also, after researching Boaphile and checking them out on the BOI, I decided to order a T-10 cage from Animal Plastics. Ali at Animal Plastics was terrific......extremely nice and helpful and did a great job helping me select the cage that best fit my needs. Boaphile never responded to my emails or telephone messages, so I gave up.
