I think figuring out why you want a snake will help you see what kind you want. I don't think I'd ever want for a sand boa as it's behaviour doesn't really appeal to me. Also the humidity would be a big problem for me.

I, personally, wouldn't really want a snake that is burrowed all the time. That's why I asked what you want a snake for? If you want something that can be seen, watched and be "on display" then I'd look at something else.

The KSB I am sure has some pros but I can't really think of them. Or at least pros that other snakes do not also have.

The size and ease of care are the big pros for us right now. We are also thinking of hognose a bit they seem to be a little more difficult.

From the little I know the sand boa can have similar problems with them not wanting to eat, etc. Again, from what I know and not firsthand experience the female hognose eat much better and are more sociable than male hognose.

Both have been said to be very easy to care for.
