Welcome to the club Jimmy! Be careful, though, they are just addictive as corns and rats. Enjoy!

Congrats!

We are new Kenyan San Boa owners are well and they are awesome little snakes.

We are happy with them and know you will enjoy yours just as much.

The folks here have been really helpful answering our questions and there is a lot of knowledge to share on this board.

A nice aspect to keeping these sandboas is that they seem so happy in rather small, sparse cages, which makes the whole compartmentalization method in the hobby perfectly suited for these snakes. Same with rosyboas.

Overall their metabolisms are a bit slower, so less food per snake per year compared to kings and corns. However, sandboas can and will eat alot during certain periods, so this is not to say withold food, it is just to point out a nice benefit to keeping these snakes.

Sandboas are nice if you have to leave town for a week or two. They are fine with nothing during that time - food or water.

On the flip side, not a very dynamic, interactive snake.

They are perfect snakes to watch TV with. If you have to get up, put them on your hot spot on the cushion and I guarantee they will be right there when you come back...if not, they are under your couch cussions....just remember to check that there are no wholes in the couch lining....
