Acrantophis dumerili, commonly known as Dumeril's boa,[1] is a species of non-venomous snake in the family Boidae.

[6] Adults of A. dumerili usually grow to 6.5 feet (2 m) in total length (including tail)[7] with the maximum reported to be 8 foot, 6 inches (259 cm).

[3] Along the western coast and southwestern regions of Madagascar, it is found in a semi-arid habitat that gets fairly low amounts of precipitation.

[citation needed] The species A. dumerili is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List for the following criteria: A1cd (v2.3, 1994).

[citation needed] Once exported from Madagascar in great numbers, trade in A. dumerili has since been heavily restricted.

Though its size makes it more suited to someone experienced with large constrictors, it has a typically docile nature, and readily feeds on rats.
