The Kenyan sand boa is one of the smallest boas found in the world with adults rarely reaching 36 inches in length. The male of the species are even smaller. They burrow in the substrate that can be aspen, paper or sand and are a delight to keep and raise.

Our baby Kenyan sand boas for sale are young, healthy specimens. You may also want to check out out some of our sand boa morphs.

    What a precious girl! She came in just fine. I was worried about ordering a snake online but it went just fine and she’s great. I’d absolutely do it again.

  2. sierramatt13 (verified owner) –

    Awesome! I was really skeptical of buying online at first but the price was right so I took the chance here. Amazing shipping, super fast. My baby female sand boa seems to be in great health and has been digging nonstop in her brand new enclosure. Super legit website, can’t say enough good things about my experience here.

    This was the first time ever purchasing a reptile to be shipped, so i had a lot of aprehension. XYZReptiles was recommended to me from someone in a snake group.
    I could not be happier! First, the price was great. The shipping cost is worth it; FedEx next Day delivery. My Kenyan sand boa baby arrived on time and in perfect condition. The box was packed tight and carefully, with a heat pack to keep the sand boa warm (its cold this month here in TX). She came right out of the box and container unfrazzled, inquisitive and explorative as I first handled her. She is in perfect health.
    I love that they give a “birth certificate” for your records. Best of all was the customer service. I called them three times, and each time they took the time to answer my questions as best as possible. GREAT COMPANY!

    I love this snake, her name is linguine. She arrived healthy. I would love to order again from you guys! Great quality snakes.

    I just received my female sand boa. Such a healthy, beautiful snake. Her skin glistens! XYZ reptiles answered my questions and provided me with my snakes info. They are a caring, reliable company that I plan on buying from again.

  7. edcondejr01 (verified owner) –

    I am loving this snake. I named him spots and his patterns are amazing. He came healthy and very calm. He is exploring his new terrarium and I am looking forward to ordering from you again soon. Thank you!

  8. katiisthebomb45 (verified owner) –

    She arrived healthy and very alert. Very beautiful sand boa. We love her already. Would order from you guys again!

    I received my baby boy Wednesday curious and more beautiful than I expected… and I am COMPLETELY in love with him!! The pictures do no justice to his beauty. I have named him Snickers…he is sweet and very lively. He is getting used to his new surroundings and I can’t wait until he is ready to eat and be loved on. Also he arrived on time and in perfect condition. I know that I will be making another purchase soon. Thank you for my handsome baby boy.

    I received my baby female Kenyan Sand Boa yesterday. Fedex decided to take their sweet time but she still arrived within 24 hours and was still decently warm. She is the sweetest little girl and I couldn’t be more in love. Even my husband held her (first snake he’s ever held). Currently, looking at getting another snake from XYZ lol! Thank you all!

  12. Curtis Traylor (verified owner) –

    My baby sand boa arrived healthy and I was immediately in love with this snake. I will definitely order more animals!

  13. Hannah Pilcher (verified owner) –

    My snake arrived on time, warm, and healthy! Even coming from Florida to Colorado! I couldn’t be more impressed. They email to ensure your snake arrives and is doing well. And they send a card with all the information you need on that particular animal (last time it ate, how often it eats currently, Care instructions, etc.). I even emailed back and they responded very quickly. 5 stars all the way around. We will be back!

  14. Micah Wolfe (verified owner) –

    We waited a few months before placing our order. We ordered a male, when he got here he was healthy and responsive. His color is amazing. I was worried he’d be mostly brown but his orange is so perfect! We’ve never had a snake before so I was very nervous but he is very sweet and gentle with my 8 year old. He’s the perfect addition to our family! I’d recommend XYZReptiles to any family member or friend 100% 😁🐍🥰

  15. Thomas DeLegge (verified owner) –

    My experience buying a baby male could not have been better! Shipping was fast, and he arrived beautiful and healthy. After literally dreaming about this boa for months, opening the box and seeing him for the first time filled me with joy. He’s been a happy camper in his new home since! I have been recommending this site to everyone who asks! Thank you so much!!!

  16. snakesinpipes (verified owner) –

    Beautiful, bright markings on this little boa. He arrived healthy and active, at least active for a sand boa. Has not eaten yet but they take a little more time to destress, so I’m not concerned. Communication concerning the order was timely and helpful. I would recommend XYZ and would purchase from them again.

  17. Michael Ritz (verified owner) –

    Fast reliable and adorable products!!!

  18. Pamela Geel (verified owner) –

    Great experience! My snake came in very healthy! Customer service is excellent!!!!

  19. Nick Mondrella (verified owner) –

    My sand boa has beautiful markings with vibrant colors and seems healthy. Much better than any reptile shops near me. Well done xyzreptiles.

  20. Cheryl Dapkus (verified owner) –

    Super cute- can’t wait to gift it to my daughter!

  21. Michael McCurdy (verified owner) –

    Just love my Kenyan Sand Boa. He is by far the most docile snake I have. Couldn’t be happier.

  22. Aaron Patterson (verified owner) –

    My girl came in right on time, no problems at all. I’ll definitely do business here again!

  23. samanthahollingsworth6 (verified owner) –

    Beautiful!

  24. Catherine Graves (verified owner) –

    My sand boa came in very healthy and very ready to get out of that container. I put him in new home and off he went. Thank you.

  25. Marissa Celaya (verified owner) –

    My baby girl sand boa arrived happy and healthy with a full belly. She is so very sweet and active. The tracking of her delivery was precise and fast. She was packaged ever so carefully with a nice warm side. I will be getting any future reptiles and supplies from XYZ. Not only was the animal beautiful but the pricing on every product is amazing! Thank you XYZ. You’ve got a customer for life!

  26. Kaylin Leavitt (verified owner) –

    Came on time and was alive, he’s very beautiful and sweet. I’d definitely buy another reptile from them!

  27. westernlady1124 (verified owner) –

    Our first Kenyan Sand Boa baby arrived perfect! So alert and active. He’s SO beautiful and healthy! Thank you XYZ, we love him ?

  28. reginacharay (verified owner) –

    I purchased my first Kenyan sand boa from XYZReptiles. My snake was mailed overnight to me. He is so cute and a very healthy little guy. His colors are beautiful. I love him.

  29. Natalie Bocci (verified owner) –

    I had never purchased a reptile, and was wary of doing so online — especially since I am literally on the other side of the continent from XYZReptiles. I didn’t need to be wary: the transaction was seamless, our new friend arrived promptly and in good shape, and he’s a beautiful, healthy little fella who is an excellent addition to our family and a wonderful new friend for my son.

  30. n.d.summers.95 (verified owner) –

    Got my sand boa a week ago and he is a very active happy little guy. Ate for me with no issues. Very happy with the snake.

  31. boognight (verified owner) –

    I’ve ordered from a lot of company’s online. I must say these guys are on point! I bought the last female Kenyan Sand Boa they had and the website updated immediately! I’ve bought animals from other sites only to find out 4 days later that they were out of stock on the animal but their website didn’t reflect it.
    Fast processing, & shipping! Animal arrived in good packaging, looking great, & active. I’ll be spending money with this company again for sure!

  32. angela.newhope (verified owner) –

    I ordered the Kenyan Sand Boa, after the order I found out those were out of stock, they allowed me to switch to the anery Kenyan sand boa easily just paying the difference. My baby arrived the next day beautiful and alert. They were very helpful with my questions since I did contact them a few times. I will definitely order from them again.

  33. socalrailroader (verified owner) –

    I received my 6-8″ female Kenyan Sand Boa Thursday morning, and she is beautiful! She was well packed and insulated and had a heat pack on top, and came out of the container full of life! A nice card telling all about her, when she last ate, when she was born and care tips. I immediately fell in love with her, I named her Ashante, in honor of her Kenyan heritage. Last night, she ate a thawed mouse, she’s really liking her new enclosure! I had never ordered from XYZ before, but after reading the reviews on here, and across the web, I took the plunge, and I’m happy I did, the care they take with their animals is seriously impressive, you can tell they care about them as living beings, not just merchandise to be bought and sold. I will definitely be ordering more from them in the future.

  34. finchbear1999 (verified owner) –

    Our new boa is absolutely perfect. Colors and pattern are beautiful and he’s very healthy and active. The shipping packaging protected him from the bitter cold and he arrived just fine.

  35. dambola1994 (verified owner) –

    Purchased a female Sand boa and was hesitant about buying online but she came healthy and very much active the second I opened the box! Great color, good size and fast shipping! Very satisfied with the service and will look here first on future orders.

  36. michellempearson1231 (verified owner) –

    Received our Kenyan sand boas two days ago. They are full of energy, healthy and the sweetest snakes ever. They love their new home and we love them.

  37. davincilinks52 (verified owner) –

    My little baby arrived exactly when planned and without a scratch! She’s still getting accustomed to her tank but she’s been out and about exploring and I haven’t seen any behavior thus far that would suggest she’s got any health issues going on. Buy from XYZreptiles! I will totally buy again if the need or want arises.~ <3

  38. danfolsom (verified owner) –

    Just received my two KSB and they are beautiful, healthy little animals with excellent muscle tone and very lively. They have both eaten since their arrival and I couldn’t be happier.
    You definitely have my future business.

  39. marcobrunn2 (verified owner) –

    We ordered a Kenyan sand boa and received it by Fed Ex the next day. Couldn’t be happier. We are proud owners of a beautiful and healthy KSB.
    When I originally got on the waiting list for a KSB, I wasn’t sure we would get a response. It took about three months to receive an e-mail letting us know that there were KSB’s available for purchase. I’m so glad we got on a waiting list. We will definitely use XYZReptiles for our next reptile purchases.

  40. jezzy0011 (verified owner) –

    I was very happy with my Kenyan Sand Boa she was delayed due to weather but when she did come she was in great condition! I am also looking into ball pythons, would buy from here

  41. Lori Walls (verified owner) –

    I absolutely love my male KSB! He arrived nice and warm, and started to burrow immediately. Customer service was great and shipping/tracking was fast and accurate. His name is Sizzle and he’s my little baby. I can’t wait to get a Blue Tongued skink next!

  42. NaShay Smith (verified owner) –

    They both arrived when I was told they would and in fantastic condotion! They both have pretty good size to them and they seem to be overall in good health. I’m glad I purchased from XYZ and I look forward to purchasing from them in the future.

  43. Tammy Haskell –

    Our new addition to the family arrived healthy and happy. Misha has adapted well to his new environment and we have been able to hold him. This company is great and if you have any questions, they are there for you. I will order from them again.

    I ordered a Kenyan Sand Boa for my daughter on a Thursday morning and it was delivered Friday morning at 10 am. “Mango” is the cutest little snake. He ate well the first time we fed him. We couldn’t be happier!

  45. jadeellsworth (verified owner) –

    Amazing little boa! Shipping was fast and thorough. Well packaged, I loved the little sheet with his food info and his birth date 🙂 affordable and great, healthy, lively and very tame snake! Will order again from you guys in the future.

  46. Coley Armijo (verified owner) –

    This is my second snake purchase in less then 2 months. Xyz did amazing again. Amazing colored Kenyan sand boa male. Shipping was great, i live in Salt Lake City and it’s pretty cold. Heating pad and lots of insolation. Once the little dude got warm he was active burrowing. I’m very happy again, and look forward to doing more business with xyz.

  47. Daniel Wildman (verified owner) –

  49. Cheyanne Griffy (verified owner) –

    I purchased 2. A male standard and a female anery. Received my boas this past Tuesday and I’m absolutely in love. They were a bit cold upon arrival but are doing great. My male has already eaten but my female did refuse, which, I’ll try again tonight. All in all, I am very happy with my snakes and will definitely purchase from XYZReptiles again in the future! ?

  50. ke.turner602 (verified owner) –

    My baby Kenyan Sand Boa was delivered promptly and was in excellent health when he arrived! He’s a delightful little guy, and doing very well. He was kept plenty warm in his shipping container. He’s beautifully colored, docile, and happily moved right into his tub. I’d gladly do business here again!

  51. mmmmdang (verified owner) –

    I recently bought 2 KSB; a normal and an anery. They both arrived safely and were well packaged. They were both a bit cold to the touch since it dipped down overnight, but adjusted well in their enclosures. The little card that came with each were very nice. It has their birthday, the day they are fed on and their meal. They were both feeding on live pinkies, but it was very easy to switch to frozen/thawed. They are both super tiny, so I was afraid I couldn’t find a small enough pinky to feed them. However, they ate very well. I’m very happy with my KSB and would likely buy more once more morphs are available.

  52. Janica Hunt (verified owner) –

    My KSB arrived on time lively, bright and alert. He was a little stressed due to shipping he started to jump around when I held him. After a few days he calmed down and happily ate his F/T pinky. I do wish you can see the individual snake you’re getting prior to purchase but he arrived exactly like I thought he would. Thank you XYZ! I would order again in the future!

  53. retrorodent (verified owner) –

    First off, the little sand boa is exactly what I wanted, looks healthy and is quite lively.
    There was no heat pack, which was somewhat concerning as it was a chilly morning and what made matters worse (note that the following was entirely the fault of Fed Ex), the box was left at my door without so much as a knock. Fortunately I’d been waiting eagerly in the living room, so I saw the truck arrive. Had I been in a different room when it arrived, I wouldn’t have heard or seen anything and figure it hadn’t gotten there yet. Just a tip, be ready and on the lookout for the truck, because the Fed Ex employee may leave your reptile sitting in the cold.
    There were no major issues on XYZ’s part, so I recommend them. The price was great and it was easy to track the location of my package.

    • xyzReptiles –

      Hello, We are based out of Miami, FL which runs hot year round. We have to take temperatures into consideration for here, the FedEx hub and the final destination when deciding on whether to use a heat pack or not. It is much easier to overheat and kill a reptile than for it to perish due to low temperatures. This is why there was not a heat pack in your box. Glad to hear overall you were happy with your experience with us and and your sand boa.

  54. july_ready (verified owner) –

    Received our KSB on Friday. We had ordered her on Tuesday I believe. With hurricane Harvey on us, we still got her in a timely manner. She’s very alert and GORGEOUS!!!

  55. Faith (verified owner) –

    Wonderful. Just wonderful. I ordered my KSB on a Monday morning at like 3 am and received him on Tuesday morning at 9:30 (an hour earlier than it was supposed to be here) and I live in CA and xyzreptiles is based out of Florida. This was also by far the best choice as far as price goes.

  56. Gabriel (verified owner) –

    I ordered a male Kenyan sand boa some time ago, and I must say, he’s the most inquisitive, lively little snake. Shipping took some time, but with good reason (concern for health and safety of the critter), and was extremely fast. Despite scaring the bejeezus out of our FedEx lady and an unexpected delay, there were no problems. He’s a lovely little critter, healthy as ever, and I can’t wait to see how well he eats!

  57. coscolluelamn (verified owner) –

    I was worried about him since the low temperatures were to be in the low-30s. But he arrived just fine, a bit cold though. Once he sensed the heat pad, he livened up and started burrowing. He is very docile with really bright colors. He immediately went into shed right after arriving so he hasn’t eaten for me yet, which is getting me worried. However, it should all be fine.

  58. Dan Lipka (verified owner) –

    I was hesitant about ordering a live animal online, but I checked the credibility here and it I couldn’t find a bad review on here or Facebook, so I made this purchase. I couldn’t be more satisfied! She arrived in a timely fashion, beautiful and healthy. I took her out of the case and she was very tame and responsive. If I were to buy more reptiles online again, I wouldn’t do it anywhere else!
