Not personally with my snakes as I don't house them together except during breeding season. I keep a good eye on the male at this time, but luckily my girls haven't shown aggression towards him. I know a guy who's buddy was breeding dumeril's and the female ate the male during the breeding season. If you google search "dumerils and cannibalism" you will find loads of stories. Dumerils in the wild have a higher reptilian content to their diet (especially as juveniles) than many other boas do, which is why they are more likely to eat a cagemate than another species. I doubt too that anyone would want to partake in a cannibalism experiment, so I think you'll have to wait on that one!
