Re: Hey all..

Definitely a sand boa. After looking at where you're from, and seeing as how it's in a plastic water bottle with sand, I'm guessing it's wild caught. Rough scaled sand boas are native to Pakistan, so that's my guess.

Forgive me if it's not wild caught but if it is, I'd tell you to let him go where you found him he will be much happier there. =) You could also buy an exotic species or a sand boa of your liking from a breeder, or something.

Good luck. =)

Hello and welcome!

I agree! What you have is a Rough-scaled sand Boa also called Short-tailed Sand Boa or Keeled Sand Boa. They get about 2 feet for females. Males are smaller.

Terrarium size- You want a 20-gallon long or bigger. You'll want savannah/desert setup with plenty of sand for burrowing.

P.S.Sorry to have to tell you the person you bought it from has misinform you. It happens, but at least you found this site and we'll do are best to help you. So your snake can live a long health life.
