How big do Kenyan Sand Boa's get and what size rodent do they eat when fully grown?

Thanks

Female Kenyans will get from 28 - 32 inches on average, and can feed on adult mice or hoppers. Males Seldom exceed 18 inches, and will also feed on adults or hoppers (depending on girth) when fully grown.

I strongly disagree with the 28-32 inch female average. Both of my female Kenyans 3 and 5 years old are 24 and 25 inches. a 32 inch sand boa would be weird looking.

That has been your experience. The average is considered to be 28 for females. Yours are on the tiny end of the scale, I guess.

Roy Stockwell has a huge female. There is a pic of her in his gallery on queen snake. Just because your two aren't that big doesn't mean the avarage is not right.

Roy's female is huge indeed! I think the largest sandie I've seen was 42" or something like that... maybe that's Roy's girl?

I measured my 4 year old girl last night at 30 inches. :)
