[quote]In the care sheet he states that you should not use sand because when you move it around, you could add extra pressure on your snake. But for my opinion I think it would have to be a large amount of sand. yes 1-3 grains wouldn't do much to an adult 16inch sb but a when it comes to a pencil thin 10inch baby then 2 grain can cause slight impaction or worse also,frozen thawed rodents that are wet with thaw water will stick to the substrate & make one big ball of sand that will cause some pretty bad blockage even for a 2ft sb thats why i feed my kenyen in a seperate container everyone else eats in there cage(i tell yeah theres been alot of kenyen topics lately wheres the red-tail boas)

I have maintained my Sandboa for close to a year on nothing but aspen with no problems. Its easy to maintain compaired to sand. Holds shape very well when my snake burrows which is really cool because if you dont disturb the aspen for a few days you can see several tunnels that have been created. I would recommend aspen used gererously through out the enclosure with about 3-4 inch depth. Good luck...

"Sand" Boa... No sand... It's not good for a SAND boa to live in SAND... WHAT? That's dumb sounding. Sand would be nice, I didn't know aspen could be used for sand boas. And does aspen really hold burrow shape? That's cool.
