Successful Kenyan Boa Feeding

Last night, I finally got both Kenyan Sand boas to eat F/T. I felt very accomplished.  I've tried brained f/t mice, hot and dried ones, wiggling them, and nothing worked. What worked? Drying off the F/T fuzzy mouse and bouncing it on the bedding. I have heard of this technique before, but I just haven't tried it, nor have I thought about it till yesterday.

Once the female snatched hers, she drug it through the cage... And, don't worry I took her out and while she focused on "killing" it, I took the aspen off.

Here's a picture of the male Kenyan sand boa eating his mouse.

These are my two new sand boas. The male is in shed, but appears like he may have past shed issues. We will see. Both appear hardy. I will try feeding Monday.

Sand Boa

I'm thinking more and more about getting a pair of sand boas. I had three teeny ones last year, but they were ill and not a one lived. I did what I could to get them to eat, and once consistent, they stopped and died.

I found a pair of yearlings for sale that I'm thinking about getting. These would be much hardier than the 3 week old ones that I purchased last year.

I will definitely keep updated on my decision.
