Sand boas

oh sure vote for those you know...I see how it is;)

If I remember correctly Alex has pic of snows and albinos on his site right now if you click on the boa section. Let me think if he has an anery pic on there somewhere if not I'll have to get some of mine of the weekend.

Oh if you click on his gallery section and then on boas there are pics of the anery's
 
Danke schön. I'll take a look at them real quick.

Mine was on a diet of f/t or live. I didn't have any pinkie-pinkies so she got a pink that was just developing fuzz, but it was live. How often do you feed yours? Looks like mine was fed once every week. But I just fed her on Monday and already looks like she's not eaten anything.

I tend to feed most of my younger snakes live now anyway. I reserve pre-killed or f/t for my older snakes as the size of the prey increases. Its just more convenient for me to feed live and have had better results over all.

I'm still pretty excited that I actually have a snake that isn't a corn snake. Sure corn snakes are fine and dandy, but its nice to spread out into a different area.

I've tried two BP's and both ended with disastrous results. One died days after arriving..and another lasted 2 weeks and caused some sort of injury to itself while I was out of town and had to be euthanized. Maybe I'll try them once again when I can have an enclosure that works well for BPs, preferably something that holds humidity.

But so far a sand boa fits the bill of what I'm looking for. Something that doesn't get monstrously huge and isn't in the least bit aggressive, and has a pretty good common husbandry range (not too complicated).
 
ROSY BOAS

I have two rosy boas that I mentioned. Having difficulties with the male eating...

I was holding a full grown adult at the reptile store when it latched on to me...bled pretty good!

Didn;t hurt!!
 
Mine get fed once a week. I agree you can't beat housing these little guys. I have one BP that was my first snake and that is it for BP's for me! Due to the fact that I no longer raise mice, going out every week to find live is getting to be a pain in well you know;) Luckily the pet stores around here have quite a collection of mice so they always have pinks and fuzzies.

Other than my corns I really like my albino nelsoni they are as "simple" as corns and look mighty good too.


Rolph, I too have rosy boas great little snakes. They are white water local and I bought them as het albino. I'm hoping that they have babies this season for me. How long has it been since the male ate? I have been bit by a female rosy and you're right it doesn't hurt all that much but boy did it bleed. That reminds me I still owe Simon for that one;)
 
Ken,

I took a look at the anery sand boas, they're adorable! They look like cows that got squeezed out through a Play-Doh factory. =D

And I also took a look at your website, that one adult female nelsoni you have needs sunglasses in order to be seen. That's an awesome snake. :cheers:
 
If I had to pick my favorite it would be the anery sand boas. The black on white looks awesome, and oh so bright just out of shed.

Thanks for the compliments. If only the adult pair would get in the mood and give me some eggs. I have a trio of 02's that i'm trying to get up to size as well. So I'll be able to offer unrealted pairs in a few seasons. and I know you'll want some:cheers:
 
ok here are a few pics of my sands...
