I recently got 2 sand boa hatchlings and I love them. I am a tad concerned about one of them. She has had a dull coat since the time I bought her almost one week ago. I got them from the breeder that I have gotten all of my wonderful snakes from and have had no problems. Tomorrow is going to be their first feeding and since I have no seen her eye be cloudy I am going to give her the opportunity to feed if she wants. I have a moisture container in their 10 gallon tank and heat on one side as well as water on the cold side. I use crushed walnut substrate. Her skin is very dull and and she doesn't have the normal snake feel and fairly loose kind of skin. I soaked her for a bit but have only done it for short periods of time because I have read that over hydrating could be an issue with these snakes. I'm at a loss as to what to do.
