Is my kenyan sand boa's diet okay ?

In Việt Nam, the reptiles selling is not cheap at all and so is the acessories for example: 12 frozen pinkies cost about 19 dollards, and 3 days 1 pinky is too much !!!!!!! So I decided to catch house geckos for my sand boa, but some friends of mine said it's not good for it, I don't trust in them much and post this topic here, some more advises???

Welcome to the forum firstly - i think the general consensus on here will be that wild caught food is not a good idea as you wont know what illnesses/parasites the food could be bringing with it.

Don't feed every 3 days. Feed once every 5 - 7 days and that shall save you some money.

i think it would be fine to house them together, some people dont like to some people do, i keep everything seperate. i would be safe and keep them seperate.

Sand boas are generally not cannibalistic, but you will most likely have two stressed out snakes if you house them together. Generally it is not recommended to house two snakes together. The only time you want to put animals together is for breeding.
