Sand Boa Diet

Video Transcript

"Ok. So, the next thing we're going to talk about now that we have our sand boa and our setup is what we're going to feed the sand boa. And, what we have here is a couple different displays of feeder foods for the sand boa. They do eat rodents. So, you are going to be feeding mice to your sand boa. At a young age, we're going to be looking at the pinkies. Which, are baby mice. See their nose, no fur on them or anything. They're pretty much straight out of the womb almost. Your next size up from that, would be the fuzzy. Ok. It's a little bit older a little bit bigger. It's got some fur growing on it. Ok. Now, in between this size and the next size I have here which is the adult mouse. There's generally a in between size called the hopper. I don't have any hopper's here today. So, unfortunately I can't show you one. But, it's a little bit bigger than the fuzzy. There's a lot more fur on it. It's about half the size of an adult mouse. Your adult mouse, would be this guy right here. Ok. This is an adult mouse ready to go. This is the biggest size you'll probably ever have to feed a sand boa. Any bigger than that and you've got a freak of nature on your hands and I suggest you contact somebody about making some money. Now, these are all frozen prey items here. And, generally I like to feed all my reptiles frozen prey items rather than live ones. It's safer for the reptile and it's cheaper. What you do to use these, is you're going to take you're frozen animal and you're going to plop it in a cup of hot water. And, we'll get to the rest of it in just a second."
