My Dad has a pair. He's had them since babies and has found their temperament to be very docile (both as youngsters and adults). You do need CITES paperwork with them. He keeps his in a Herptek viv 5ft x 2ft x 1 1/2ft. They are absolutely beautiful snakes which are totally under rated and valued IMO.

Jackie has been spot on with her advice so far, the only extra thing to add would be that sometimes babies/juveniles can be a slight harder to ge to feed, but usually as soon as they get going they're flying Cool

We have an 03 female who was a bit hissy and snappy as a baby. She has calmed right down now, but is still a picky eater. She likes to be tempted with different kinds of food-guinea pig is her favourite right now.

She has CITES paperwork and was microchipped at 15 months old.

Hi Rad i have a baby dumerils male and he is GREAT they do need CITES and microchip but it is no biggy! Voodoo is fantastic when handled really calm and not a bother at all to get him out his tank unlike some of my other snakes Rolling Eyes

Regards to feeding i have never had a bother with feeding him he loves his rat pups.
You should get one rad they are the most beautiful snake and extremely unerated, I may be biased Laughing

But i will be getting more thats for sure!
