My little "sand boas" (pics)

My girls both seem to have had an identity crisis as of late. But that's okay - I'll accept them for whatever they choose to be. :P

Hope you enjoyed. I know I did. :love:

Bahahaha! That's awesome! Very cute pictures :D

Very pretty girls you have there! Love the second picture.Thanks for sharing.

Thank you both. :) I'm very lucky that I caught them doing this and was able to photograph.

lol love the pics where it's only their heads popping out. Very cute :gj:

How do you like using sani chips? Ive used cypress mulch and newspaper for my snakes and i dont really care for either of them :/
The cypress mulch is ok but it isnt ground up very well and there are some huge chunks. And newspaper is ok but not nice looking lol.
Im trying to decide between using aspen or maybe trying sani chips...

I love the sani-chips. They're just aspen in little bitty pieces so it's very fine, very soft on the snake's scales, and A-OK for them to ingest. I would recommend it. It also comes in nice sized $10 bags packed to the top and last time I ordered, shipping was cheap.

Great pic's!!!!:D

Love the pics!! Thanks for posting them :)

Cool pics, I love them. Is that abnormal for boas? Aren't they ambush predators?

Yea i know its sounds lame but i dont like how rough the cypress mulch is on them. I feel like it could hurt sliding over it but im sure in the wild they go over worse stuff :p

Where did you order yours from?

Edit: also one more question... Does it clump up when it gets wet? Bc my snakes like to splash their water around in the tubs sometimes making the cypress wet which spikes the humidity on me lol

I got mine from The Pet Pharmacy.

In my experience, it clumps. I am able to scoop the tubs for urates like litterboxes, it's pretty convenient.

It's not really abnormal. Most boas will burrow once in a while. I have only seen Eve burrow that one time, but Ember seems to do it a lot more.

Oh my gosh that's adorable!

My girl makes a mess when she burrows, since she's so huge. But it's soooo cute to see just her lil' nose sticking out!! :D

That's why I never refer to my snakes as any particular locale. Just 'BCI' will do it for me.

That's my favorite, as well. She's so curious. I really think she thought she was getting food.

Lol!! That's just my sig.. I wasn't saying that directly to you. It's going to show up on all my posts ;)



*Factoid: "There are no such things as Hogg Island or Columbian boas"

Trying to change it still. It won't show up right!

Oops. Sorry, I didn't realize it was meant to be a signature. :oops: That's weird that it's not showing up as one though.

It probably has something to do with tapatalk. My other sig shows up fine from my computer.

Now let's see if bold works..


----> Signature <----
