- Bedding: The bedding should be sand/ shavings of wood.
- Caging: The length of the snake is approximately 0.9 m so the length of the cage should be 135 cm and the height should be 43-45 cm.
- Feeding: The Kenyan sand boa has a strong appetite for mice. Baby Kenyan sand boas typically prefer live pinky mice to get started, but with maturity, they almost always switch to frozen/thawed prey. Even with dead food, the prey is usually constricted. I use 12-inch metal tweezers to offer thawed mice to my snakes. Adult male Kenyan sand boas will accept a large hopper mouse, and an adult female Kenyan sand boa can handle a jumbo-sized mouse. Males tend to eat less frequently than females, although there are always exceptions. Some of my males will eat every chance they get. Feed young snakes every week and grown snakes in 10-14 days.
- Watering: Always leave a bowl with water but not filled to the top.
- Temperature: Always leave a cool side & a hot side in the cage so the snake can choose where to stay to be comfortable(put a heat lamp on one end and leave the other cool). The temperature needs to be between 22 degrees and 30 degrees. A temperature above 34 are dangerous for the snake.
