Heh, I remember when Jason chewed Lori out for trying to work things out between RTB and Kingsnake. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Well, anyways...that's besides the point. I do have one question here.
"A friend of mine has a 4 year old female Dumeril's. After years of trying every single trick in the book, she still will only take nothing but live rat pups. I've heard that this is quite a common problem with Dumeril's due to their instinctive hunting habits. Yet, her other two will eat anything put in front of them, and they are catching up with her in size. Is this a common problem among Dumeril's? If so, have you been able to find a remedy for this with your snakes? This is a big concern for my friend, especially when this particular female graduates to adult rats that are fully capable of doing damage."

Proper weight depends on the age and size of the female. Our female is about 5 feet long and heavy bodied.... but not overweight. She has given us one litter and is gravid again. We waited until she was about 5 years old before breeding her.
No, do not house them together, Louise pointed out one of the many reasons not to.
"Smallest" acceptable housing also depends on the size of the snake. General rule of thumb is one square foot per foot of snake. For a 6 foot Dumeril, that would be a 3x2 enclosure. We use Boaphile 421D's for our adults.
I find Dumerils to be rewarding captives to work with. Usually very gentle and when you can get one that is feeding readily on f/t rats, all the better. They are also quite beautiful. This little girl is our holdback from last year's litter:
