Is the Kenyan sand boa a suitable beginner snake? My 3 Buenos

A female would cause you no harm at their full size. They aren't dangerous.

Snake care is easy. To me just about any snakes are beginners level if they aren't 10ft+ or venomous, or known to be highly aggressive since an angry snake is a pain. Kenyans are pretty chill.

I keep my snakes on newspaper just fine.

They're easy. Use shredded aspen as your substrate so your snek can burrow in it. Under tank heater for heating. And a thermostat to regulate it.

This. But depending on your snek expect to not see it very often, sometimes mine sticks his head out but sometimes I don't see him ever. QT at fuck but really doesn't even tolerate being out, just wanting to burrow the entire time.

True. Recommend corn, king, milk, rat, any of the common colubrids really, if you want an easy care snek that comes out and zooms around tank on regular basis. Corns are the most docile of that lot which is why they are most popular. King snakes and rat snakes have a bit more spirit and vigour, that can put new snek owners off a bit.

they even try to dig into carpet if you take them out.

I'm just concerned about the mature size of all of those. I don't think I would have a good place to put a 25+ gal tank.

They really don't take up as much room as you probably think. Do you live in an apartment or studio? If not, install a sturdy shelf.

Or get bins. Pic related. You can buy them already made with lights+heat pads if you don't want to build one of your own. They will also be much lighter than glass.

honestly? what is the point of having pets if you're just going to warehouse them in a filing cabinet?

I used to think that but snakes honestly don't give a shit. I myself don't like when snakes are in actual dressers/can't see into the enclosure but I may just fear someone would forget about them that way.
My two are in tanks on a bookshelf until I shell out for something more appealing looking like pic related.

I'd fucking love to have a giant decked out tank but unless it's a fucking huge snake then they don't need a fuckhuge tank. They don't need to be walked and played fetch with.

Rosy boas are pretty small. 2-3 feet adult length.

Desert kingsnakes stay small. I've had my 12 year old female in a 10 gallon for 12 years. Males will be smaller.

Or try a hognose. The males are pretty dinky and active.
