Kenyan Sand
Boa Description |
 |
 |

| |
Sand Boas
are a mostly Asiatic group of small boas. The Kenyan
Sand Boa is also known as the East African Boa. It is
commonly found in Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Libya,
Chad, Niger, Yemen, Tanzania, and Somalia. In the wild,
Kenyan Sand Boas are primarily nocturnal, but they may
occasionally move during the afternoon and will live
in arid areas. The Kenyan Sand Boa is a desert-dweller
and in areas with loose substrate, it will spend almost
its entire life buried. They will also hide under stones
and in burrows. They will avoid the midday heat and
come out in the early morning and evening to search
for food. When handling them, be sure to support them
well, particularly the females. They are not good climbers
and will fall if placed on tables or furniture. |
