Baby Anery Stripe Kenyan Sand Boa Overview
The Anery Stripe Kenyan Sand Boa is a color variation of the popular Kenyan Sand Boa. They are the same in every way and have the exact same requirements. Our baby Anery Kenyan sand boas for sale keep their contrasting black and white coloration into adulthood.
Choosing the right baby boa will help start your relationship on the right foot and ensure you get a healthy pet. Avoid wild-caught animals, as they are often less docile than captive bred snakes and may be sick.
When you’re shopping, check to make sure the enclosure is clean and only one snake occupies each cage. Look for injuries, mites around the eyes or any gunk or buildup in the mouth. Listen for wheezing.
These are signs that the snake may be ill. In addition, watch how the snake responds to handling; if it is fearful, visit other breeders.
The Right Enclosure
Your baby boa will need a well ventilated cage that can prevent him from escaping. Glass aquariums with secure mesh tops, or plastic storage tubs with numerous holes in the top for air, will work.
Around 40 square inches is enough for a baby. A young adult over 6 months old may need 2 to 4 square feet of space, while adults need closer to 12 square feet. You should provide at least as many square feet of cage space as your snake is long.
Aspen or newspaper make good substrate for the floor of the cage. Branches for climbing and a dark place to hide will be much appreciated.
Heat Source
Boa constrictors need an outside heat source to maintain body temperature. You can use an under-tank heat panel or a thermostat-controlled heat cable.
Place the heat panel or cable on one side of the cage to create a gradient with a basking area that reaches 90 degrees Fahrenheit and an overall ambient temperature of around 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
This range will allow your baby snake to regulate his own temperature by moving throughout the cage.
Water and Humidity
Due to their tropical origins, boas need 60 percent to 80 percent humidity to thrive. Keeping a plastic tub of clean water that your boa can climb into and soak in will help him maintain moisture and prevent mites.
Small bowls of water will raise the humidity. Consider a timed misting system for hands-off maintenance, or a spray bottle to mist your snake once or twice a day.
Feeding Time
Young captive boas live primarily on fuzzy mice or hopper mice; they need to eat only once every five to seven days. Overfeeding can lead to vomiting and a decrease in overall health.
If your snake is reluctant to eat, try feeding at night or offering freshly killed prey rather than frozen. Once your snake reaches 3 to 4 feet in length, you can reduce feedings to once every 10 to 14 days.
As he grows, you can introduce larger prey like rats, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. Rats have the highest nutritional value; guinea pigs have the highest fat content.

I recently bought 2 KSB; a normal and an anery. They both arrived safely and were well packaged. They were both a bit cold to the touch since it dipped down overnight, but adjusted well in their enclosures. The little card that came with each were very nice. It has their birthday, the day they are fed on and their meal. They were both feeding on live pinkies, but it was very easy to switch to frozen/thawed. They are both super tiny, so I was afraid I couldn’t find a small enough pinky to feed them. However, they ate very well. I’m very happy with my KSB and would likely buy more once more morphs are available

My KSB arrived on time lively, bright and alert. He was a little stressed due to shipping he started to jump around when I held him. After a few days he calmed down and happily ate his F/T pinky. I do wish you can see the individual snake you’re getting prior to purchase but he arrived exactly like I thought he would. Thank you Buyreptileonline.com I would order again in the future!

First off, the little sand boa is exactly what I wanted, looks healthy and is quite lively.
There was no heat pack, which was somewhat concerning as it was a chilly morning and what made matters worse (note that the following was entirely the fault of Fed Ex), the box was left at my door without so much as a knock. Fortunately I’d been waiting eagerly in the living room, so I saw the truck arrive. Had I been in a different room when it arrived, I wouldn’t have heard or seen anything and figure it hadn’t gotten there yet. Just a tip, be ready and on the lookout for the truck, because the Fed Ex employee may leave your reptile sitting in the cold.
There were no major issues on Buyreptileonline.com part, so I recommend them. The price was great and it was easy to track the location of my package.

Received our KSB on Friday. We had ordered her on Tuesday I believe. With hurricane Harvey on us, we still got her in a timely manner. She’s very alert and GORGEOUS

Wonderful. Just wonderful. I ordered my KSB on a Monday morning at like 3 am and received him on Tuesday morning at 9:30 (an hour earlier than it was supposed to be here) and I live in CA and Buyreptileonline.com is based out of Florida. This was also by far the best choice as far as price goes.

I ordered a male Kenyan sand boa some time ago, and I must say, he’s the most inquisitive, lively little snake. Shipping took some time, but with good reason (concern for health and safety of the critter), and was extremely fast. Despite scaring the bejeezus out of our FedEx lady and an unexpected delay, there were no problems. He’s a lovely little critter, healthy as ever, and I can’t wait to see how well he eats!

I was worried about him since the low temperatures were to be in the low-30s. But he arrived just fine, a bit cold though. Once he sensed the heat pad, he livened up and started burrowing. He is very docile with really bright colors. He immediately went into shed right after arriving so he hasn’t eaten for me yet, which is getting me worried. However, it should all be fine.

I was hesitant about ordering a live animal online, but I checked the credibility here and it I couldn’t find a bad review on here or Facebook, so I made this purchase. I couldn’t be more satisfied! She arrived in a timely fashion, beautiful and healthy. I took her out of the case and she was very tame and responsive. If I were to buy more reptiles online again, I wouldn’t do it anywhere else

I bought a baby Blue Eyed Lucy in August of last year and I was super impressed. So, I just ordered a Baby Pastel Enchi Ball Python and once again I am super impressed. Both arrived on time, well packaged and healthy. My Enchi is already curious and exploring. I will most definitely be ordering again. Thanks Buyreptileonline.com
