Welcome to the Sand Boa Page, a page dedicated to providing information about Sand Boas and other Erycine snakes. This page is intended for the casual herpetologist who would like to know a little more about Sand Boas and their relatives and for the herpetoculturalist who wants tips on keeping and breeding these amazing little boas.

This is always a work in progress.   I am extremely grateful to David Sorensen who has provided me photographs of all the other species of Eryx!

The Sand Boa Page is proud to be  -  the world's premiere Herp web site!

This site has been visited by   Sand Boa aficionados since July 13, 2000.
