Hello!
We have been considering a sand boa, but we wanted to wait until this year to do it, because we just adopted Smauggie the BD in May of last year.
I've done a good bit of research online for sand boas, and I was wondering if anyone here may have one, and could give me their thoughts on sand boas? For instance, some sources say to give them sand; some say not to. (I plan on feeding the him/her in a separate tank, if that matters, regarding the ingestion issue.) Any pics of your setup would be great! I know we need an UTH, but do we need a heat lamp on top, too? They're nocturnal (or so I've read) and I think the light would bother them. Does yours prefer frozen or live mice? Do they take well to handling?
Thanks!
