    If you keep them in a tub until they out grow it can you put carpet over the heat mat? I’m researching everything before I decide if I want one or not .I currently have a ball python

    Kenyan Sand Boas are seriously underrated for beginners.

    Are you keeping one already, or just researching before getting one? πŸ‘‡

    More care and feeding guides for niche species are coming soon.

    I really enjoy your uploads , your knowledge is invaluable and your passion and care for reptiles is clear.
    Really enjoy the information you pass on.
    You should have so many more views.
    My only criticism would be your delivery to camera and clear dictation.
    Just slow down a little and get better mics my friend.
    Thanks for a great channel.
    I’ve already recommended you…

    I just set up a tank 60/40 retisoil and play sand mix. The breeder said sand is no good concern for impaction? Do you still feed on the sand or feed in separate containers ?
