Re: New sand boa pics

Also is it just me or are the eyes of the saudi sand boa on the top of its head? I've never seen one before, pretty cool snake!

Re: New sand boa pics

They ARE on the top of her head! LOL
So cute.
She is very, very small. You can kind of see where she's sitting in the palm of either my hand or my husband's hand. Same with the others.
the Johnii is the biggest, but still very much a baby. Also she's in blue!

Re: New sand boa pics

I've named the male, "Jet"
the female saudi "Vivi" after my friend Vivianna, and the female johnii "Ornella" lol

Jet is constantly moving his eyes, and turning his head and looking around.
Vivi is twitchy and has struck a few times...which is funny because she is SO tiny.
Ornella is in shed, and is slow and steady. Can't wait to see her bright new suit!
