My next reptile!!!

Bradyloach · 04-15-12, 12:36 PM

So I was really thinking about my next snake being a sand boa! Well I seen one at the reptile store and he says there 150 each. They don't get really big only 14 inches. I fell inlove with them! I could only get it next year but still I want to learn as much of them as possible! So can people fill me in

what's there setup like?

150 for a sand boa? Rippp offf.

Itscanadian prices. I paid 100 for my sav and 140 for my bearded dragon it's expensive up here

Sand boas are awesome. I really hope it's a really cool morph for 150, though.

I still think 150 is a little to much. If you get it from a reptile show it will probably be cheaper.

Glad you are taking the time to learn about the next animal you are getting. I would say it would be better to get one from a reputable breeder though, Brady.

Thats the same pet store you said wasn't taking care of their animals, right? No need to give them any more of your money then!

No but I already told them about sav husbandry and they said yeah we know we're going to Add more dirt in there tanks. I said hmm they need a bigger enclosure, they said that there is no money in doing that, they usually don't keep savs for more than 4 weeks. But still the guy is super nice and is trying his best to get them spot on. I offered to help him so I don't know if by September he cleans up his act and gets his animals in proper conditions maybe I'll start doing business again

Fair enough, if he is willing to listen and do some things to improve the situation of the animals then that is worth rewarding as a patron. Glad to hear he is working on it, as most won't.

Bradyloach · 04-15-12, 01:22 PM

Yah he's like 50. He's trying! Jarich I just put a threads on Cassie hunting check it out

First off pm me and I can send you another place to get a ksb much cheaper. Matter of fact pm mykee to see when he will have babies.

I've never had a sand boa but it seems their set-up is pretty simple. I would use a few inches of aspen substrate in their tank, and have a water dish. I think hide would be up to you, the ones I've seen all stay under their substrate. I seen one at the petstore today for 150 as well, maybe there's canadian places online that you can order from for cheaper.
