Vet records and registration at the new address
A Kenyan sand boa's paperwork begins with the same transfer owners delay: tell the previous exotics vet you have moved, update the address, and have the file sent on, including weight history, shed records, and any past feeding or respiratory notes. Register with an exotics practice near the new home and record this boa's sex, age, and adult size on the form, because Kenyan sand boas stay small and a clinician who knows the species will judge his condition against the right expectations. Keep the breeder or rehoming paperwork with the vet file, and add a photograph of his patterning, which helps identify him if records are ever separated from the snake.
Burrowing setup notes for the new room
A Kenyan sand boa lives under the surface, so the enclosure paperwork should describe what cannot be seen. Record the substrate type and depth he burrows in, the warm-end setting that holds his gradient in the new room, and where the enclosure now stands, since a colder room or a spot over a heating vent changes conditions inside the sand. Note that humidity stays low and the water bowl is small and stable, and write down where spare heat equipment is stored in this house. Photograph the enclosure and its lid fastening for the home inventory, and check after the first week that the temperatures you recorded on paper match what the thermometer actually shows in the new position.
Lease, household, and supply updates
A Kenyan sand boa is small and unobtrusive, but the tenancy paperwork still needs to be square. Read the new lease or building rules for reptile clauses, keep written permission if the agreement requires it, and file it with the snake's records. Update the address on frozen prey orders and any standing deliveries, and record the nearest reptile supplier in the new area as a fallback, since a small boa eating small prey items burns through a modest freezer stock faster than owners expect. If the snake is microchipped, update the registry, and tell your emergency contacts the new address at the same time, while the moving admin is still in front of you.
Sitter sheet for a snake that stays hidden
A Kenyan sand boa's sitter sheet exists mainly to stop a kind helper doing the wrong thing. State plainly that the boa burrows and may be invisible for days, that the substrate is never to be dug through to find him, and that feeding is offered at the surface on his usual day with his usual prey size. Explain that a boa sitting on top of the sand for long periods, or repeated gaping, is the change worth reporting to you and the vet, precisely because surfacing is unusual for him. Give the sitter the new address, the new vet's number, and the lid rule: fastened after every opening, every time, because a burrowing snake surfaces at night and explores.
A quiet file, deliberately kept together
A Kenyan sand boa generates so little paperwork that a move can scatter all of it. Gather the vet transfer, breeder note, permission letter, and sitter sheet into one set, and review it when his feeding pattern or the household changes. Note the move in his feeding log so a short fast during settling reads as context rather than concern when you look back. Confirm the backup keeper on the emergency sheet still knows the no-digging rule. Keeping the complete set in your KinsLe Pet Passport gives this hidden snake a portable record that any vet or sitter can use without relying on your memory.
