is this snake poisonus?

Absolutely a sand boa! Sweet little snakes.

Oh and if you want to be technical, no snake is poisonous.. venomous is the correct term. :P

Cute little guy! Kudos for champoning for his life...=)

thanks for the information shelby :)
venomous :P anyways, can it be raised in captivity?

Absolutely! Do a Google search for sand boas and you will find some pretty helpful sites. Good luck!

thanks :) i will do so if he catches another one
thank you all for the information

Mad props on your saving him. A lot of people would rather kill first and ask what kind later.

Sand boas are lovely pets! I have three of them and am fostering a fourth.

How is that foster sand doing, April? =)

I think pretty good.. I just got done feeding her (still have to force feed, no interest in eating on her own yet)

She is feisty though, puts up a good fight when I try to feed her. She poops regularly.. seems like just time and patience until she eats on her own.

If my mice would cooperate and breed and not eat their babies, I could offer her live pinkies more often. She's so itty bitty that even 2 day old pinks are too big.

I think that's awesome, that you saved the little guy's life.
