Hi guys,

I have been away for a while. I was looking through old threads to try to reference some husbandry info, and the most recent thread asking about care sheets contained a link that is now dead.

I know that decent care sheets for our beloved Dumeril's Boas are a bit difficult to come by, so do any of you have a favorite care sheet, or other husbandry reference?

Thanks,

~Rebecca

I have my own Dum pretty well taken care of, but I'm fielding questions from newbies on Dumeril's Boas, and I would like to have some good full care sheets to refer them to. There are some pretty bad ones out there as I recall, so I wanted to hear from folks on here about any favorites - the few-and-far-between good care sheets for Dums!

Thanks,
~Rebecca

Thanks pathigdon for your responses thus far!

I like to refer people to more than one source when possible, which is my reason for posting this thread.

So... do any of you know of any other Dum care sheets?

happy herping!

Also try a google search. As usual there is some conflicting info, generally with humidity & temps. Dums come from the drier areas of southern Madagascar. Humidity levels over 50% may cause some respiritory issues (personal experience).
