Rough Scale Sand Boas

As most people on here know by now, I am the surprised owner of 2 rough scale sand boas. They are tiny, but mighty! And also still a bit nameless.

I would really like some input on these guys from people who have had them or currently have them.

This is only a little bit that I have learned about these guys in the very short time I have had them...


Mean as ****
Voracious appitites.
While having a relatively small head, they still slam down food items as wide as their middle.
While they remain burried most of the time, these snakes are bold. (See them burrowing, then peeking up periscope like all the time!)

I have heard that they calm down with age. Is this true, or will I always have tiny, perpetually pissed off snakes? If I feed more often, will this slake their anger?

Clearly they are serious burrowing snakes but sand is bad. I currently have them on sanichips which they seem to like just fine. Can I use ecoearth instead? Why ir why not?

I have researched basics but theres quite a bit of conflicting info about these snakes. Like...how big do they get? One sourse says females reach 36 inches and another says 26.

Any extra info or experience would be greatly appreciated!

For now, enjoy a few pics of the demon spawn!
