my cousin want to get me a sand boa for x-mas. i was wondering if i ad all the care requrements down right.

Cage- 20gallon long
substrate- sand, 4-5inches
temp- cool end 80-85 warm end 90-95
life span- up too 15years
water bowl- fill every day
humidly box- in warm end
food- pinkies as babies and fuzzes to adult mice as an adult
breeding- not doing

i've only kept gardener snakes
any would be apprated.

I would put the humidity box on the cool end not the warm end.

 

[muckieman]

ok thanks.....anyone has input.

 

[muckieman]

is 80 dollars for a 10-12in sand boa worth it?

 

[Connor0729]

that sounds cheap compared to what i would pay for one

I would raise the temps on the warm end a little higher. A lot fo the breeders I spoke to when getting my sand boa said it should be somewhere 95-105'F. Remember these guys come from North Africa.
