Fuck Yeah Sand Boas

Some more cute johnii photos.

Took a few photos of my 2015 johnii for the buyer. Been a long time since I posted much in the way of snake photos! There will be a few coming up.

Sand boas are some of the doofiest creatures, I swear. This girl is an educational animal at the Columbus Zoo, where I volunteer.

If I ever got a snake it would be a sand boa

So Molgera (the larger Sand Boa, who is at least 1 ½ years) is chubbers Those scale creases line up perfectly with where he bends. The baby doesn’t have them. So yeah chubberrrzzzz

Baby Indian Sand Boas! 4 babies total. This is the largest of the sand boa species. They give live birth to HUGE babies. Almost the size of an adult male rough scaled sand boa. They are awesome. If you have questions, ask away!

Dumb rufe

If anyone gets Reptiles Magazine, keep an eye out for the current issue with the article about Kenyan Sand Boas. The article was written by a colleague, Darren Boyd of The Reptile Rainforest, and it features photos I took of some of my sand boas.

Pretty Pretty Pretzel (Eryx colubrinus loveridgei)

Meet my sweet snoot Little Miss. She looks cute in all of these pictures. Unfortunately, I failed to properly capture her accusatory gaze. But look at that shovel-face.

Unfortunately my hasty photo of a pail full of newly collected baby snakes turned out blurry. Sorry!

Nine rough scaled sand boas were born today. Right into the incubator for them!

Rough scaled sand boas are (in my opinion) an underrated species in the hobby. They are some of the hardiest, easiest to keep snakes.
