If i had a choice I would not have gotten involved with this species. It is a little much for me. At the same token now that I am starting to get everything set up, I am glade I have it. It has not been as bad as I thought. I am still not done but we are getting there.
I was suppost to get a new cage and fogger from a friend but he recently had a corona scare. So we are now staying away and I had to change my options a little late in the game. I think i have it all resolved with the exceptions of going bioactive and not having its new enclosure yet.
She/he is doing well. Dehydration issue is gone. It has been eating and drinking well. Every step I take adding to its enclosure seems to make it a little happier. I will have to take some more pics soon with all the changes.

Right now it has no su
I see the same thing regarding sand boas, they absolutely run risk in the wild. It is just a matter of providing the best possible scenario we can. For example I use ground aspen instead of sand and they like it. Also if they eat it. It is digestible. Some people...
The new fogger came in yesterday, the lights come in today, the new cage I am waiting on. Fan added, cooling system added, bark removed. New plants added. It was litterlay thrown in my lap. That cage was originally set up for tokays but never got used. The bark was to hold a small amount...
I also noticed differences in color when sleeping. Some of them tend to just get darker in color while others. Have red popping in along the sides and back. May just be genetic or something else all together.
