I have 8 KSBs.
The first was an anery that we named Dune.
She is now 5 and is gravid for a second time.
Her mate named zak and in normal but is het for anery.
He lives with her in a 40breeder.
We never separate them.
From her first litter of babes we kept 3, one was a female anery, named Adranna, that we put in with a normal male yearling that we had.
His name is Rocky from all the gorgeously dark patches, his head is dark too.
We had to keep this other anery male that was born half the size of the others and his color is all washed out. We called him Runt. He is still about half to a third of the size of the other two. We had to force feed him day olds cut into quarters for a about 5 months. He now eats day olds on his own and is very sweet.
We bought an albino male 2 yrs ago that is het for snow and last year we bought him a snow mate. His name is Buster and hers is SnowB1tch. She is a little uneasy, but we'll tame her up and just call her Snowy when she does.
Well her is mama Dune eating.

Here she is up on 3 large deli cups on a shelf above her water bowl. The top of deli tower is 2 1/2 inched from the lid of the 40breeder. Who says they don't climb.

AZ yeah it is Desert Blend (walnut shells). Ive had Dune on that stuff for the 4 1/2 years that we've had her. It's the only stuff I'll use.

I know its already been said but you have some gorgeous Sand boas there.. Just a quick question for you as I have at the moment 1 Female and i'm just away to pick up a pair more.. Looking at your pics the males are the same size as the females.. I am just checking because the male in the pair i'm getting is about half the size of the female and i've been told this is right..Can you let me know what the case is..Thanx in advance

the only breeding age and size ones are mama Dune and Zak. He is a little long for a male. We went in to Underground one day and they thought he was a female and resexed him, even though they sold him to me 1 1/2 yrs prier and know me very well. Dune is a very healthy size and length herself. the pic of them together shows that he is a tad longer than half her length. she eats rat pups and he eats large fuzzies. The other pairs are too young for mating the females are only yearlings and the males are 2 yrs old.

Wow! I would love to get back into KSB's. How much would a pair of anerys cost me?

I know that the anery's sell to the shop for 50 usd so retail for a babe is about 100 usd. We bought Buster and Snow Bitch from a reputable breeder (same guy actually as Dune and Zak was from) at 2 different expos in florida at 2 different years. the price hadn't changed for either. The albino het was about 250 usd and the snow was 350 usd. These are only prices that I've dealt with in my area don't know how they change in different areas.
