The Sand Boa is a non-venomous snake found primarily in sandy and arid regions. These snakes are known for their distinctive, smooth scales and short, stout bodies, which help them burrow into the sand. They typically grow to about 2 to 3 feet in length and have a coloration that blends well with their environment, often featuring shades of brown, yellow, or gray. Sand Boas are primarily nocturnal and feed on small mammals, birds, and lizards. They use their strong bodies to constrict their prey before swallowing it whole. These snakes are popular in the pet trade due to their docile nature and relatively easy care requirements.
