Enclosure - do these guys need top-opening since they need depth of substrate?
Hi y’all!
I do NOT have a snake but I’ve been looking at fossorial snakes (sand boas included). I know they need lots of stuff to dig in! I’d always been told that you want front opening enclosures for snakes so they don’t feel so intimidated by you trying to get them out (or for any reason if you or a tool you’re holding enters the tank). But most front-opening enclosures only leave room for an inch or two of digging room, which would fully submerge them in substrate but wouldn’t really give them *that* much to dig in.
So have I been barking up the wrong tree this whole time? Do they need top-opening enclosures? Because ive been surfing second-hand sites for front-opening ones all along.
