05-24-2013, 02:15 PM

I picked up a couple of Small/Wide Exo-Terra tanks cheap from a PetSmart sale and am currently using them as display cages for a couple of my juvenile BPs, but that ain't gonna last long. The BP's are going to outgrow them quick and I'll be left with nothing to display.

I was thinking of getting into keeping (and maybe breeding) some small boas like Kenyan Sand Boas. I've done some research and what I've seen suggests that I could house a pair of Kenyans (1.1) in one of the cages. Is this accurate?

A few other questions:

Should I be prepared to remove eggs and incubate them if the housing situation produces some, or do sand boas do OK with maternal incubation?

Are there any breeders online that y'all recommend?

Am I forgetting or overlooking anything important that should influence this decision?

Thanks for your time!
