New to boas. KSB questions.
I've had many pythons and colubrids before, but never a boa. I love the way Kenyan Sand Boas look and was hoping for some wisdom through experience.
I've heard that you can use the finely shredded aspen as a substrate, but what is the best? I would want him/her to have the best environment.
What is the appropriate adult tank size? Do they do better in racks like bp's?
Temperature(hot spot/ambient) and humidity?
Any and all information and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks boa-fans
Herps are cool.
One of the attractions of outdoor pursuits activities for many people is that life is reduced to the barest essentials, and in the process a more intimate connection to the natural world is established. Food that would be trashed or fed to the dog at home tastes wonderful, a cup of murky water is much appreciated, and after a few days, even a thin sleeping pad can feel like a comfortable mattress as tired bones are able to rest after a hard day's work.

Re: New to boas. KSB questions.
I'm a big fan of the normal/wild type KSB. Is there any difference in prices at expo's versus other locations? Thanks

We'll I was cruising craigslist today and came across an add for an adult pair of KSBs. I am now the proud owner of a m/f pair of 3yr old normal type KSBs!

Sweet congrats!!! They are super easy snakes. I just got two females myself, one normal, one anery.
They are much hardier than ball pythons so if your cool side gets a little cool, it's not a huge deal. I'm guessing your house will never be less than 60 degrees unless the power goes out in the winter so you should be fine. I also can't believe how much more mentally stable they are, they don't seem to stress like ball pythons do. The normal female I got was being kept in a garage...she ate for me two days after I got her home. I got my anery female from BHB and I'm assuming she had only eaten once before I got her, if that. She was teeny tiny, she's only 8 grams and I have fed her! She ate for me a few days after she got here, it's amazing! Their temperaments are pretty awesome too! I did found out both my girls hate the dogs and will bite them on the nose!

Agreed. Mine are bomb-proof. The person who had them before was keeping them in their barn. Both of them ate on day 2 and had zero problems. Very calm; no aggression. Each has a spot or two where it looks like they were bit by something though. I'll get a picture in the next day or so and upload it to see what people think.
