    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.

    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....

Hi all,

Reposting because I originally put this in the wrong place.

I would appreciate your knowledge about growing kenyan sand boas.

I have a 2016 25% Dodoma male who is a picky eater. When I first got him at the March 2017 Tinley show he was eating f/t p fuzzies well every 7 days, maybe skipping an occasional meal. However a few months ago he started getting more and more picky and for the last month he has refused everything except live mouse fuzzies.

I offer him the live prey every other week and in between frequently offer him f/t p fuzz, fuzzies, or very small hoppers. Sometimes he will strike but then drop it. I have also left him alone in his bin with the mouse for awhile, nothing. Last night I left him in a large deli cup overnight with the prey, nothing. (I placed the deli cup in a rack slot so he would stay warm). I have not yet tried offering him a f/t immediately after the live, as I feel a single fuzzy is a good size for him. I will try this as soon as my pet store has some mouse pinks.

I am wondering what is appropriate weight gain for baby sand boas? He has only gained 2 grams (44g to 46g) in the past month on this every other week feeding schedule. My thought is if he is growing appropriately eating every other week, then I will continue what I am doing and eventually he will start on f/t again.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Kayla
