    snakes in 10 gallon
    I have a couple of 10 gallon aquariums and I am really getting into snakes. I was wanting a snake that could live in a 10 gallon all of its life- but the only possibility I have found is a hognose snake. Will this work? are there any other snakes that could live all their lives in a 10 gallon?

    A male kenyan or roughscale sand boa. Awesome snakes.. I have three.

    how about one of those viper boas? I wasn't quite able to get their exact length, but it doesn't look like they get too long.

    Not so sure about them.. they tend to be aggressive sometimes. Awesome snakes though.. they're on my wishlist. I'd think they'd need a 20 gallon.

    So far, I have came up with three (discluding viper boa) snakes:

    1. Rosy Boa
    2. Sand Boa
    3. Rubber Boa
    Which of these would be the best overall?

    They are all sand boas.

    All great pets.. I don't particularly care for the look of rubber or rosy boas. I love kenyans and roughscales. Kenyan morphs include anerythristic, albino, snow, paradox albino/snow, and flame race.

    What are the prices looking like for the Kenyan morphs? I really like the flame-race, and the anerythristic, but the others are cool, too.

    Flame - $200 +-
    Anery - $70
    Albino - $150
    Snow - I think around $300
    Paradox albino -$225
    Paradox snow - not sure..

    also a viper boa would not be a very good 2nd snake they mostly will not eat mice or rats and usually eat frogs or anoles.

    Actually viper boas are the easiest of candoia to switch to rodents. I see mouse eating viper boas for sale on kingsnake/fauna.

    Where would I be able to get an anerythristic? Are they less or more expensive than a regular Kenyan sand boa?

    Nevermind my last post- I just found some. Even some anerys for $45!

    They're a little more expensive (normals are around 65). There are a lot of ads on kingsnake.

    I got mine from Jason Hess at jasons-jungle.com. He has one male anery kenyan left. He's a very nice guy to work with.. if you go with him, tell him April sent you.

    What size mice (or rats) do you feed your sand boas? And by the way, that's one nice lookin' snake.

    Thanks.

    The anery is bigger than my normal.. the anery eats medium mice. A full grown one can stay on adult mice.. or small rats alternately.

    Here's my other two sandies.
