I finally got my first kenyan sand boa! (pics)

So yesterday I went to the National Reptile Breeders Expo in Daytona Beach to see if I could find a ksb and I found one! It was a tough search, lol. I was looking through every snake booth to see if they has any ksb for sale and most of them didn't. I found 4 different tables that had at the most 3 ksb, all normals. After we took a little break to sit down for a bit, we checked out one last booth and there he was. They had a lot of small plastic cups stacked up with different snakes. I picked through them and found him! The guy let me hold him and the snake was very sweet. I noticed that his tail is a little deformed and the guy said that it was like that since it hatched. The snake was very active and looked healthy. I asked the guy how much he wanted for him and he said $35. I continued to hold him and finally decided that I had to have him. I asked the owner if he would take $25 for him and he said yes! :target: It was funny because I started to take my money out and another person standing on the other side of my husband said "$25? Huh, that's it? Your nuts, lol." I gave the guy the money by that point and then the vender walked over to the guy to ask him why he said that... I think I got a good deal?

We got home and got his tub set up with the uth and thermostat. I tried to feed him just in case he was hungry but he just sniffed at the pinkie, a lot, lol. I held him for a little bit today, just to see how he was doing and plus I just couldn't resist picking him up The last time that he was fed was on Tuesday, that's what the vender said. I'm wondering when I should try to feed him next....... any opinion?

Well here is Nagini!



I'll try to get more pictures later. He would not stop moving, lol.

he looks like he's grinning. Very pretty i'm not a huge fan of Sand boas because I think the slant on their heads is kind of goofy, but I still think their colors are beautiful.

Re: I finally got my first kenyan sand boa! (pics)

Thank you all! I was wondering if he was an albino, lol. So he's a bell albino? I have to look that up! I was thinking I was getting some kind of good deal. The other normal ksb that I seen at the other booths of the same size were going for $55 dollars. How much do bell albinos go for?
I think his tail gives him character too

Any suggestions on when I should try to feed him? He's relaxing in his home right now and I want him to get comfortable. I want to make sure that he eats though, lol
