My new little Kenyan Sand Boa

Just got back from the Maryland reptile show. While there my friend picked me out a normal little Kenyan Sand Boa. Here are some pictures of him/her:

Such a teeeeny little thing! Congrats on the super-cute!

Thanks! He/she was the best looking one out of the 8 others.

omg its so small!! very pretty :)

Very nice! I was thinking about asking the breeder to sell me one for cheaper than the regular price, but I HAD to check out everything else. They were very small!

End up getting anything?

Yeah. Check the corn snake forums.

If you were at the show, maybe you remember the spot where the guy had the two adult corns in the display cage. I got the Okeetee. They were next to the Black Rats in the wooden cage.

I think I remember seeing them.

They were right behind the supply shop thingy. Now I can't wait till the next show!!!!
I never thought those KSBs could be so small.

I was upset that they didn't have big bags of aspen bedding there :(

Yes, same here. My friend who I went with is drooling all over the B&W cali king snakes. She's going with me at the MARS show, so I'm sure she will get one there. I'm going to look for an albino KSB there.

What a lovely little baby! He/she has great color and looks very healthy.

Thanks Shelby, now all I need to do is figure out what sex this little one is.

awesome! it looks like you got one at the same stand I did! they sexed mine and said it was a male (the space from vent to tail was longer than the sexed female they had, is what they said). I'll post pics soon!
CONGRATS!

WOW cool boa!

awesome pics by the way...my digicam broke, so I have to use the older one that SUCKS! I love the close ups of your little one's face!

Did you get yours from the young guy (say in his early 20's) a few stands down from the door? I know he had about 8 others in cups and was down to only 2 when I left.

Here 'he' is playing "Snakes on a Plane"....

Hopefully I'll get my friend Turtle to sex 'him' for me sometime this week.

OH! You know Turtle? Is he the same Turtle that works for Pete? I remember that stand that had those sand boas. JW, was that breeder you are talking about a few tables from the feeder mice?

i got it from the dude two stands down from the young guy. although i wanted to get it from them cuz he was cute...but my friend was like DON'T DO THAAAT. so I got it from the dude that had a bunch in those plastic containers.

ahhhh what a cutie! such nice colouring too ;)

BP: The breeder I got mine from was right next to a guy who had ?snaping turtles? set up in a water tank on their table. And yes this would be that Turtle that works for Pete.

Mattah he's a cutie! Yeah I was back and forth from the guy you got yours from and the guy I got mine from. I couldn't make up my mind!

Awesome! Ask him if he knows Sherry.

Get more pics when he gets more aquanted (SP?) with you, because he is awesome looking.

oh well then, it looks like we got them from the same people then:D I'm suprised they didn't sex yours for you...he compared mine to a smaller female they had and told me it was a male (I wanted a male since they stay smaller and thus easier to sneak past my RA's) the guys also said the sankes had eaten a few times already, which I thought was a plus! when I went there, there were like 8 of them (including some yellowish looking ones, but they had more black then yellow so I got the more orangy color), you said there were only two left by the time you got there?!

Yeah sounds like we got ours from the same guy. When I was leaving at 2:30 he only had two left. I wanted a bright one as well. I'm still going to look for an albino at the MARS show in Sept.

Will do!
I'm surprised you don't know Chris who works for Pete.

Now I do, Sherry told me he is really good with the snakes.

I pretty much know the whole staff now. Lol.

Yup. GREAT guy!

Well I just attempted to "pop" Shadow my new KSB. I believe it is a female since nothing pink popped out. Kathy Love is awesome for putting out those two short videos!

I heard if nothing popped out, it could be a female, but it also may just be a male and his penis didn't come out. The only sure fire way to tell is if something does come out, cuz then obviously it would be a male. maybe see a vet or a professional, since damage can also be done if you "pop" them incorrectly.

Yeha I'll get one of my snake guys to prob or pop him/her when they get back from Daytona in a few days.

Also just letting you know that the little one ate up a newborn pinky today. I know the guy I got him/her from said he/she had eaten about three times so far and shed once. Soooo I guess find a new born pinky and let your guy have it.

oh wow already?! I was still waiting for mine to get used to his cage...but I guess I don't have to. You think these guys will take thawed?

The vendor said wait 5 days and offer it a small live pinkie. So I did and little Shadow took a sniff, grabbed and killed it and chowed down! The next one I'll offer him, will be a prekilled one since I'd like to get him eating f/t.

Those sand boa and rubber boa faces are really growing on me... so cute! I love those Halloween colors too! :love:

They are adorable!
Like how they stay pretty small too.

Talking about Halloween colors, someone told me to name him/her "H2O".

haha my friend told me to name him either Sandy or Kenny...and i'm like thats too CHHHHEEESY even though kenny kinda sounds cool. but at the moment he remains "snake". any ideas?

LOL Kenny. My first thought was "Kenny the shark" on kids TV.


I was looking though here: http://www.20000-names.com/androgyno...isex_names.htm

There's always Peter (Pumpkin) eater... :D


Candy Corn? I know there's one of the candy corns that's brown & orange. :)
