I just got a kenyan sand boa from the show and ive followed care sheets but i was just wondering if anyone can see something im doing wrong.
(pics down)
Using a ten gallon tank
Screen lid
50 W bulb that gives a 90 basking zone
sand substrate of about 2 inches- ive been advised to change but to what?
snake dish
two pieces of cork bark on each end
some decoration plants
the snake is about 6 or 7 inches long.
My other question is how to feed these guys. Should i dangle food or should i leave it. Should i take them out to feed, if i do and use a rubbermade or something do i dangle or leave. Should their be anything on the bottem?
How long do you think it will take him to settle in and eat..and should i still try every week?
thanks!
edit:
oops forgot a pic and yea snake dish water dish..just the ones like for snakes..not the potting plant thingy's :)
