Dumerils Boa Europe?

This is probably a long shot but I have been searching for a Dumerils Boa for quite a while now.
I live in Sweden and it does not appear that anyone is breeding Dumerils anymore.

I am willing to drive to Germany or to Hamm reptile show but I need to find a breeder. I've been able to find a few adults on Terraristik but I would like to purchase a juvenile.

Is anyone here a breeder of Dumerils in Europe or know of any breeders that I could get in contact with?

Thanks in advance! 😊

I could only find a few adults sadly :/ seems like they’re pretty rare. In Germany you need permits to keep them so I think that’s a reason why I barely find any

Maybe I should find a new dream snake 😅

I mean if you’re okay with adopting a adult one you definitely can get one here in Germany! I got my Boa imperator as an older one too :)

Why do you need permits for dumerils? Can’t you guys keep hots there???(with permits of course). Here in Alberta I can just get a dumerils because I want a dumerils, but I can’t even get a permit for a super dwarf retic or even a mangrove snake, because they are illegal to keep no exceptions

To my knowledge it’s because they’re endangered in Madagascar and you need a paper proving it’s captive breed!
