These are still my favourite Sand Boa
Here's some photos of breeders and this seasons babies some of which will be available at the Sept. 12th show.
Rough Scales are low maintenance boas requiring little water but fairly high heat with a hot spot of 90F. No light is required
Neonate are best started on live pinkies, but they can be switched to frozen/thawed, as they get bigger. Males eat less frequently than females.
While babies tend to look alike and are more greenish ,adults can vary quite a bit in coloration and pattern. No two are identical

I've been raising them since June so they're quite a bit larger now.
Thanks for looking!
