New little KSB!

I found this little guy/girl in my local pet shop today. I don't usually buy animals from them because I don't agree with how they treat their mammals, especially their rats, but in the past year or so their reptile husbandry has improved a great deal!

I'm hoping this little boa turns out to be a female. The snake was given to the store by its previous owner who wasn't keeping it correctly. The shop owner said he/she has had a good deal of growth in the past 4 months, so I'm crossing my fingers for a girl, but if its a boy I am guessing he wont be growing much larger than he already is.

I've wanted a KSB for years but just finally decided I could have one since I upgraded my pewter corn to a larger viv and had a spare 10 gal just sitting around :rolleyes:

Ideas for names are welcome!

awesome pickup. You won't regret it. I recently started working with sand boas and love them.
 
Oh thanks guys, she's got such a cute little shovel face!

In reality her coloration is a much brighter orange (especially up at the top half of her body). Tomorrow I'm taking her outside for some better photos in natural light.

I hope she stays nice and bright as she matures. I also love how their scales are so smooth and sparkly at the top half of their body and how they get so thick and rough near the tail. They are such unique snakes.


Oh and I have a question. She has about 10 brow/gray spots on her underside and I was wondering if this is normal coloration for a normal KSB or if she has something funky going on with her pattern?
