No false hope of making a ton of money on them!

Didn't we just post on this a few weeks ago

No morphs No Wild Caught/farmed babies = less available individuals/Higher price tag

*AKA as PBM said...breeding dums is strictly a labor of love. You can play around with normals, but most people don't want to devote their whole collection space to them, when all they can get are normals (even as striking as a normal is).

I am a Dumerils Boa-"aholic". They have to THE most underated Boids in the snake business. Just because there isn't any established color/pattern morphs doesn't mean that they aren't worthy of popularity. When it comes to plain naturual beauty, you can't beat a big adult Dumerils Boa. Good attitudes, just the right size, beautiful color & pattern, I mean what more do you want. I currently have 3 Dumerils Boas, ranging from less than a year old to 15 yrs old.

This year is the first time in over 5 yrs that I have had anything but Dumerils Boas. I don't breed them, I just don't think that there is a better large snake out there.

I meant, There ISN"T a better large snake out there.
