new to the dumerils world questions

billy434 Feb 03, 2010 12:21 AM

I have a question about the dumeril boa. Do they all have the same basic color patterns or do they have a albino or odd/different colors or are they mostly the same. Thank you in advance,

They are mostly the same, but as you look into them, you'll find some are much nicer than others. Now, there is a T positive line in Germany, and some of us have what's been termed "hypo" dumerils, but these aren't available in any numbers yet. There are some "striped/reduced pattern" animals, but it seems most of these are males and it doesn't seem to pass on in any predictable way. And they all have a white patch under the throat, which is another common question once people get a new Dumerils or happen to finally notice it. Hope that helps.
