Kenyan sand boas typically require a tank size of at least 20 gallons for a single adult snake. For juveniles, a smaller enclosure, like a 10-gallon tank, can suffice. It's important to provide adequate substrate for burrowing, along with hiding spots and a temperature gradient to ensure their comfort and health. Additionally, larger enclosures can benefit these snakes by allowing more space to explore and exercise.
Yes they are! If you live in a apartment or a small space, a Kenyan sand boa (if you have a really small space, then get a male) is an excellent choice. They are fairly not too expensive (counts on the morph and sometimes even gender) and are fairly docile snakes, but hog noses are great choices too for a small living space.
To determine how much sand you need for a 62 sqm area, you should calculate the depth of the sand layer you want to spread. For example, if you want a 5 cm layer of sand, you would need 3.1 cubic meters of sand. Make sure to account for compaction and settling when estimating the amount of sand needed.
To convert liters of sand to kilograms, you need to know its density. The density of sand varies, but on average it is around 1.6 kilograms per liter. So, 25 liters of sand would be approximately 40 kilograms.
It's possible to reverse the change. All you need to do is seperate the sand and the soil. No chemical bonds were altered or anything.
The density of sand can vary, but a common value is around 1,600 kg/m^3. Assuming this density, 1 cubic meter of sand would weigh 1,600 kg. If a bag of sand typically weighs around 20 kg, you would need 80 bags of sand to fill 1 cubic meter.

Yes. Sand boas are vertebrates as are all snakes.
I wouldn't recommend them - since they spend the vast majority of their lives in burrows. Having said that - they are (apparently) one of the more docile snake species.

I believe the smallest boa is the Kenyan Sand Boa (males average 1-1.5ft.) and the largest boa is the Green Anaconda (25ft. set the record). These are the biggest not the longest snakes (longest is the Reticulated python).
I say that some types of birds eat Sand Boas
The Kenyan Sand boa (Gongylophis colubrinus) typically inhabits arid and semi-arid regions, including savannas, grasslands, and sandy deserts. They prefer environments with loose, sandy soil that allows for easy burrowing, providing them shelter from predators and extreme temperatures. These snakes are often found hiding under rocks, leaf litter, or within their burrows, where they can maintain moisture and avoid the heat of the day.
yes apparently any kind of boa chokes and their all related to an anacondaEDIT: 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.
