    Kenyan Sand Boa questions?
    So I'm looking to get a KSB and I've got a few question for people that have them.

    1.) Is a 20gL good for an adult male?
    2.) Other than a UTH, do I need a heat lamp if the room I keep him is warmer that 74°F?

    Thanks for any answers people provide. Can't think of any more at the moment. Maybe later, lol. Any first snake tips would be welcome.

    P.S. I I have done tons of research (many months) regarding this species and others. I feel pretty confident currently.

    20L is, IIRC, big enough for a female KSB, definitely for a male.

    Two of our three are UTH-only, our house is usually 70-72 in the winter, and they are fine. They spend so much time burrowed and the substrate holds heat - we use ground walnut.
