Kenyan Sand Boa - Snow Paradox

I really shouldn't leave the house for a reptile expo with an empty tank at home. I thought I'll just get feeders, even tho I have a good store in town with feeders. Nooo what do I find but a little guy that I've would have liked if I could get a good price on (which it was).
My first reptile/snake ever was a Kenyan Sand Boa that I bought on a whim long time ago (2001). So they've had a soft spot for them. And I like the paradox spotting (tho I'll hardly ever see him haha). And I had Thor's baby tank empty.... :face_palm_02:
Anyway he's details:
Born 7/27/2017 (so little)
weight: 10grams (same size Thor was when I got him, but Thor was longer)
I held him a little at the show, so much less spazzy than Thor at that age. But that could be he was stuck in a deli cup for a weekend without much heat. He's breeder thinks he might be getting ready to shed. (Why do I pick animals that are hard to tell when they are in blue haha?) He feeds on live at the moment, but I want to get him switched over to frozen before he starts eating the bigger stuff. Hopefully.
He needs a name! Would love suggestions.

On to pictures.....UGH never mind. Work computer won't let me load pictures. I'll have them tonight. :D
 
Congrats. So glad that Thor has a little brother and a great mommy! Looking forward to your updates.
 
Thank you Gail!

Finally getting pictures up and I still would love some name suggestions. I'm thinking winter/snow themed (NO Frozen thanks haha).

I've already got:
Jack Frost
Kyo
Dotsun/Dotson

Oh and the last picture is spot the sand boa hahahha

Thanks! I do so love their derpy faces.
I get the feeling mine is a little weirdo, so he'll fit right in with the rest of us. He's so chill and he likes spending his nights above ground (unless he's just had a meal) in slightly weird positions. I'd worry about him but he's got a good feeding response.
 
Thank you Tavia! Hopefully I'll get to a computer that will allow me to share recent photos of him.
I got him switched to frozen with little problem. Tho it took him a minute to figure out what to do with it once he latched onto it haha.
