    New Sand Boas

    Introducing Shai-Hulud (normal) and Danger Noodle (anery). They're 4 and 5 months old, respectively, and adorably tiny (10 and 15 grams) and soft!

    Pretty little landmines!

    But 4-5 months and Only 10-15g? That's pretty much spot on birth weight for kenyans so i really doubt that part.

    Congrats on your cool Sands!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Re: New Sand Boas

    I double-checked that I'd zeroed out the scale when I weighed the first one, it did sound low. They're larger than some of the males the breeder (Logan Stillwell, Mesusa's Morphs). He said they were eating 2 small mouse pinks every 3-5 days. We'll see how they do for me.

    Fortunately I saw him in the greenery before I hit a full-on panic about not finding him down below.

    Re: New Sand Boas

    Shai-Hulud, post-shed last night:


    I didn't realize he was in shed, apparently he and my little spotted python have been comparing notes on how to surprise me with stealth sheds. And it explains why he refused two feedings. I'm a lot less concerned about that now, and more optimistic about him eating tonight.
