So I'm not new to the reptile scene and I purchased 2 gravid sand boas and I was always under the assumption that boas gave live birth with the exception of 3 species. I thought I had Kenyans but from the little information I have found on Sand Boas, it says they are live bearers. I am totally lost. The lack of information on these animals really dumbfounds me as they are excellent pets. So anyways, when I search for "boas that lay eggs" all I get is the Calabar Burrowing Python which looks nothing like the snakes I have. Mine are shiny and bright whereas the Calabar looks rough. I'll try to post a pic on here if I can figure it out. Can anyone help me out? I have an incubator, I breed bearded dragons. What kind of preparation do I need to do??? I really thought the guy was mistaken (alot of these dealers are only in it for the money and its not uncommon for them to have no clue about the animals they sell) and was expecting a bunch of live babies. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
