A feeding log that explains how a sand boa actually eats
The most important record to hand over for a Kenyan sand boa is a feeding log that describes method, not just dates. A sand boa hunts from beneath the substrate, ambushing prey that passes overhead, and individuals develop strong preferences: some strike at tong-presented prey at the surface, some eat only when left undisturbed, and some males fast for long stretches in the breeding season. Write down his prey size, feeding interval, which method works, and the dates of refusals, so a refusal at the new surgery is read against his real pattern.
Add his growth and weight records. Kenyan sand boas are small, heavy-bodied snakes, and females grow considerably larger than males — note his sex and his source on the record, because a weight that is ordinary for a female would be remarkable for a male, and the new vet should not have to guess which he is looking at.
Shed records and skin notes
Bring his shed log: dates, whether each shed came off completely, and any retained pieces, especially around the tail tip. Sand boas live in dry substrate and shed against it, and a history of clean sheds is good evidence his humidity and the humid hide, if he has one, are doing their work.
Note anything you have observed about his skin and eyes between sheds — a dull spell before shedding is normal for this species, and recording the normal cycle in writing stops it being mistaken for a problem by a clinic that has not watched him go through it.
Previous history and the story behind the visit
Hand over summaries from any previous vet: examinations, parasite check results, and any treatment, particularly anything involving his mouth, breathing, or skin. If he came from a breeder, include the breeder's details and his age as sold; Kenyan sand boas change hands as tiny juveniles, and early feeding history from the breeder — whether he started on frozen-thawed or needed live prey at first — is genuinely useful background.
State the reason for the visit in writing with dates. For a species that hides underground, owners often notice change late: a boa surfacing at odd hours, sitting exposed on the substrate, losing weight, or refusing through a season when he normally eats. Each of those observations, dated, is worth more than a general worry described at the desk.
The burrowing setup, described properly
Finish with his enclosure written out: substrate type and depth, since a sand boa's whole life happens inside that layer; the warm-end temperature measured at substrate level; his water dish routine; and whether he has a slightly humid retreat for shedding. Temperatures taken at the surface of deep substrate and at the bottom where he actually rests can differ, and noting both shows the vet the gradient he really experiences.
Note his temperament as well. Many Kenyan sand boas are calm once lifted but startle at the sudden disturbance of being dug out, and a clinic warned of that will uncover him gently rather than tipping his world upside down.
Putting his feeding method notes, shed log, weights and setup description together in KinsLe's Pet Passport gives the new vet a clear written picture of a snake who spends his life out of sight.
