    Sand Boa

    I'm going to get a Sand Boa but I would like to know do you wash them and if so how rinse them down or leave them in a tub with water for a couple of minutes. And if I can't put them in a tub what do I do if they get stuck in shed.

    Sand boa rarely have trouble shedding. Soaking can make it more difficult to shed due to removing their natural oil. Just make sure your set up is good and he should be fine.

    You don't need to wash a snake... A sand boa won't have trouble shedding. They're not a high humidity species.

    If you're worried about humidity levels and shedding, you can give a KSB a humid hide like you would any other snake.
