We keep hognose the way they live: deep sand, hot basking spot, and no hovering. Known for arctic and lavender lines, and for telling you honestly when an animal is a picky eater.
Feeding record
Taking frozen/thawed small mouse every 5 days. No refusals on record.
Keeping a Kenyan Sand Boa
A sausage with a periscope. Sand boas spend 95% of their life buried with only their eyes exposed, ambush their food, and then go back under. Minimal maintenance, maximum stubby charm.
