Ive thought about vetting a sand boa cor awhile. I've been doing my research, so I know how to care for them. One day last week I saw one in Petco. Just because they almost never have them, I really was considering it. They're very calm with handling despite being a hatcling. I don't like to purchase animals at Petco though, not to say I never have but I try to avoid it. I found a breeder online with a few aneries, and I'd love an anery, but they only ship Tuesdays for delivery on Wednesday which really doesn't work with my schedule. I emailed them if theres a chance it can be held at the post office to pick up thursday when i am actually home, or wednesday afternoon, and they only told me what I already know.
So that leaves the question, should I get the one from Petco? I really like him and as they rarely have them it's a guarantee someone will buy him either way. He felt a bit thin to me (his belly flattened against my fingers when he moved, unless that's normal for them as babies? I expected them to be more sturdy). They told me he came in a few weeks ago and has not eaten yet (I'm guessing 2 weeks or so). Is that normal? I also noticed a few white marks on his belly that did not look naturally-occurring, but I could be wrong. Just hope he's healthy.
