Boa Russian Sand behavior

Although less strikingly colored than many boa constrictors, the Russian Sand Boa makes up for this in its easy care requirements. These animals can make good pets for beginners or experienced snake keepers alike, and are often interesting and rewarding captives!

Generally, Russian Sand Boas make easy to care for captives, as many eat readily and are often fairly docile. Although they can be aggressive at feeding time, they are generally reputed to be quite tame during handling and rarely bite out of fear. In the wild, they live in hot, sandy areas. Often they shelter during the day and come out to hunt at night.
