Hi all,

I have been considering getting a kenyan sand boa for months now. I currently have a ball python, Jeffrey, who I love sooooo much. However, Jeffrey clearly does not like being held, so I only do so when I clean his tank. For that reason I am considering getting a kenyan sand boa for handling, as they are much smaller and easier to remove from the tank. Jeffrey literally morphs into his hide when I try to take him out, but he never bites and he's fine once he's out.

So, what I'm asking is is it worth it to have two snakes? KSB eat rather small rodents, so money is not a concern for me. The only thing holding me back is that I don't want it be surprisingly more work. I'm aware of cleaning duties and feeding duties. What is everyone's experience with two snakes? Does it feel sort of useless for you? Do you feel like they act too similar for it to be worth it?

Let me know about your experience!
