Acrantophis dumerili, known as Dumeril's boa, inhabits the dry forests and savannas of Madagascar. This non-venomous constrictor is nocturnal, preying on small mammals and birds. Notable for its earthy camouflage, Dumeril's boa plays a crucial role in controlling rodent populations.

Acrantophis dumerili, commonly known as Dumeril's boa, is native to the island of Madagascar, located off the southeastern coast of Africa. It is predominantly found in the southwestern regions of the island.

Dumeril's boa inhabits arid to semi-arid environments, typically in dry deciduous forests and scrublands. The climate in these regions is characterized by a distinct dry season and a wet season, with temperatures ranging from warm to hot throughout the year.

As a terrestrial and nocturnal species, Dumeril's boa primarily occupies ground-level habitats, utilizing leaf litter and underbrush for cover. It is an ambush predator, preying on small mammals, birds, and occasionally reptiles. The boa's cryptic coloration provides camouflage within its environment, aiding in both predation and avoidance of threats.
