I finally got my first kenyan sand boa! (pics)

So yesterday I went to the National Reptile Breeders Expo in Daytona Beach to see if I could find a ksb and I found one! It was a tough search, lol. I was looking through every snake booth to see if they has any ksb for sale and most of them didn't. I found 4 different tables that had at the most 3 ksb, all normals. After we took a little break to sit down for a bit, we checked out one last booth and there he was. They had a lot of small plastic cups stacked up with different snakes. I picked through them and found him! The guy let me hold him and the snake was very sweet. I noticed that his tail is a little deformed and the guy said that it was like that since it hatched. The snake was very active and looked healthy. I asked the guy how much he wanted for him and he said $35. I continued to hold him and finally decided that I had to have him. I asked the owner if he would take $25 for him and he said yes! :target: It was funny because I started to take my money out and another person standing on the other side of my husband said "$25? Huh, that's it? Your nuts, lol." I gave the guy the money by that point and then the vender walked over to the guy to ask him why he said that... I think I got a good deal?:confused:

We got home and got his tub set up with the uth and thermostat. I tried to feed him just in case he was hungry but he just sniffed at the pinkie, a lot, lol. I held him for a little bit today, just to see how he was doing and plus I just couldn't resist picking him up :rolleyes: The last time that he was fed was on Tuesday, that's what the vender said. I'm wondering when I should try to feed him next....... any opinion?

Well here is Nagini!

he looks like he's grinning. Very pretty :) i'm not a huge fan of Sand boas because I think the slant on their heads is kind of goofy, but I still think their colors are beautiful. :D

The tail gives him character! Congrats on the deal.

Thank you all! I was wondering if he was an albino, lol. So he's a bell albino? I have to look that up! I was thinking I was getting some kind of good deal. The other normal ksb that I seen at the other booths of the same size were going for $55 dollars. How much do bell albinos go for?
I think his tail gives him character too :)

Any suggestions on when I should try to feed him? He's relaxing in his home right now and I want him to get comfortable. I want to make sure that he eats though, lol
