Awww, they're all so very cute! Kenyan Sand Boas are neat, I've been hearing a little bit on them. Care to give us their care sheet in your words?
=3 I love dogs. Can't have one where I live. Can't have snakes either because my mom won't allow them. I do have a tortoise, 4 cats, and a guinea pig though.

oh the sand boas are super easy to care for
just give a fairly deep soft substrate (we use crushed walnut)
they spend almost all their time buried
keep a water dish of course
doesnt need to be deep or big as they do not need to soak for shedding
no heavy decor unless it touches the bottom (you dont want it to dig under and get crushed)
we just have the water dish (light plastic) and a very light half a log for reptiles that we bury a bit
on top we have a combination light/heater
just any kind of light bulb will do for the light. the heater bulbs of course are specific. we leave the heater on all the time and its toward the front of the tank. highest ambient temp we had was 90F but she just buries herself deep (and it is indeed much cooler)
NO UNDER HEATER. the point of the digging is to get out of the heat.
they dont need huge tanks. males grow to be about 2 feet and females can grow to be about 3 feet. longer tanks are better of course.
ventilated tops are the best. too much humidity can cause problems.
and i guess if there is anything specific you want to know just ask smile they are very calm and sweet snakes. we had to use tape and a warm towel on her eyes and head cuz the caps and head skin didnt come off with shedding and she took it like a champ. no trying to escape.
OH and one silly thing
sometimes when you feed them they wont eat (we feed live OUT OF TANK....do not feed in tank with substrate the snake can swallow)
to get the sand boa to eat just cover it with a towel.
