    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

***SOLD***

I really hate to let these guys go. I'll be moving around for zoo internships soon, and it wouldn't be good or practical to subject these guys to potentially unstable conditions and moving around a lot. These were obtained from Scott Stark a few years ago. Otherwise, I do not have age/origin information on them.

The first two pictured are adult males, the last 3 are adult females (two of which are currently in pre-shed). All are eating live regularly and will occasionally take teased f/t.

I would like to see these guys go together, and I would like to see them go to someone who has experience keeping and breeding Erycine snakes. This is a species that deserves to be bred in captivity. I am pricing the group at $1000 (plus shipping), the same price which I paid for them.

Future Wishes

I am most curious about the Arabian sand boas although i see the post shows them as sold. My question now is are you a breeder or did you possibly get them from someone in Herpetoculture? I have wished for this type of breed, specifically the Arabian, partially because it can always easily see you when you hover it's cage. I currently have no other snake or caged pet. I've owned three reptiles through my life, they were a small tree snake a corn snake and a gecko. I first found the Kenyan sand boa upon searching for worm snakes. I guessed with it being larger that it was possibly able to be held more often. I aspire to have one as a little buddy one day, having a sand burrowing snake is the ultimate in silly and fun! One of thee most cool creatures around!

I'd love being in touch about this and if possible to be a future customer.

Thanks For Listening!
