Kenyan Sand Boa Deep Dive: Complete Care Guide, Behaviour & Husbandry

Kenyan Sand Boas are small, fascinating snakes with some very unique behaviours and care requirements. In this Deep Dive, we’re taking a detailed look at what it’s really like to keep a Kenyan Sand Boa as a pet.

We’ll cover their natural history, size, enclosure requirements, heating, humidity, substrate, feeding, handling, behaviour, shedding and general husbandry, as well as some of the common misconceptions surrounding these brilliant little snakes.

We’ll also look at what makes Kenyan Sand Boas different from many of the other snakes commonly kept as pets, and the things you need to consider before deciding whether one is right for you.

Whether you’re thinking about getting your first Kenyan Sand Boa, already keep one, or simply want to learn more about this fascinating species, this Deep Dive should give you a much better understanding of their needs.
