I just got bit by one on the finger this morning. It left two tiny holes that bled. Two holes on the top and two almost holes on the bottom of my finger. The teeth marks were close together. Not the normal scratched multi-hole appearance that you get from a regular boa bite.

yes apparently any kind of boa chokes and their all related to an anaconda

EDIT: No, not in the stereotypical sense. Sand boas (I imagine you are referring to the Kenyan sand boa) max out around 2 ft. and don't have the stereotypical widened jaw. My sand boa is a 3 year old male that just reached 1 1/2 ft.
