I've read several accounts of Dumerils in the wild being "tame". But...I also remember one story where the guy reached into a rock face to pull out a Dumerils and ended up stuck in the rock due to the snake grabbing onto his hand-LOL, I think it was in Reptiles magazine a while back??? They're definitely generally a tame boa, and the Sanzinia are probably as well, just a tad high priced for a "beginner" boa possibly. They are definitely a BEAUTIFUL boa though! Take care
