    Will a Sand Boa get stressed from a big cage?

    I'm looking into getting a Kenyan sand boa, but the only tank I have available right now is a 30 gallon. Will they get stressed out by a 30 gallon or will they be fine since they spend most of their time under the substrate?

    Re: Will a Sand Boa get stressed from a big cage?

    They can get stressed in a large enclosure. I have one male that I ended up moving to a smaller enclosure, in a quiet room that's not brightly lit most of the day, before he'd eat. Now, KSB males are notorious for going on hunger strikes, but he was still pretty small and starting to lose weight.

    Thank you for the reply! I'll keep my sand boa in a 10 quart tub at first, if that's alright.
