Some Newbie Sand Boa Questions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been researching about these guys for a while but I have a few questions.
1. They burrow a lot but does it get to a point where you never see them?
2. When handling, is this a good method: dig through the substrate and slide your hand under the boa... this wouldnt startle them? any better ways?
3. What is actually the best substrate? Every care sheet either says, sand is good, sand is bad, aspen bedding is good, some say its bad! its confusing and I'd rather know for sure from people with experience.
4. Any words of advice on the species a newbie may find useful? Are they overall good pets? Docile? Tolerate handling and interaction?
This may be a lot of questions but any help is much appreciated!
