Create an environment for your sand boa. Place one end of the terrarium over a heating pad that will keep that area at 90 degrees. Check the bottom of the terrarium with a thermometer to ensure that heat distributes in a gradient over the bottom of the terrarium. The other end of the terrarium should be about 78 degrees.
Give snakes a soft substrate in which to burrow. Spread paper shavings or Aspen shavings in the bottom of the terrarium.
Provide your sand boa with a water bowl. Change the water daily.
Feed your adult boas every two weeks with thawed rodents, served at room temperature. Some boas might insist on live food.
