I'm starting to crave for something new and I would love to get a sand boa. I got even more excited when I decided to make this my display tank and make a desert theme thing. My question is, what are the dangers of using sand. I really want to use sand due to how well the snake looks in it and so that I do my desert thingy. Is compaction a real danger when using sand and does it matter sand I use (obviously nothing toxic or something but you know what I mean). Please give me your thoughts and share anything else you would like about these beautiful snakes.
