'Our Family Hobby'

We began collecting Kenyan Sand Boas initially as a way to conquer our fear of snakes. Then we discovered that the whole family enjoyed the care and handling of Kenyans. It has exploded from there. We like this particular breed of snakes because we have a younger family. These East African Sand Boas are smaller, slower than the other breeds of snakes available, easy to care for and relatively new to the US pet trade with new morphs being introduced every year.

High Orange Female Breeding Plans

I can't remember how many I bought but here is one of the high orange females I bought from Scott Miller last year. He has been line breeding this color for a while now and has some of the highest orange you'll find. Two years and a little luck I plan on breeding a Nuclear Meltdown with her!



















































Here's my future breeding stud....my Nuclear Meltdown Male! He switched from pinkies to fuzzies a few weeks after this picture was taken, he has doubled in size in the last three months.































Never to early to plan breedings but when you come across a nice snake like this, a lot of breeding plans are bound to surround it. Thanks Mark@LHALegal.com

Javelin Sand Boas and Kenyan Babies

I have an adult breeding pair of Javelin Sand Boas for sale. The female was born in 2007 and the male was born in 2008.































Here are some images of the litter born last week. They originally looked peach in color but are coloring up. These are Flames that were produced by a Normal Kenyan Sand boa Female being bred to an Adult Dodoma Kenyan Sand Boa .

















































These should be ready for the Anaheim show. Mark@LHALegal.com

Litter Dropped

This was a 500 gram adult female normal Kenyan sand boa...I don't know how much she weighs at that time because she would have bit me if I had touched her....

She dropped three weeks later than I had expected....everyone had dropped but her....19 Peach Colored Flames were born August 23rd, 2010. They are a cross between a Dodoma Male and a Normal Female Kenyan Sand Boa. No slugs or still borns, these are good size babies, she probably weighed 700 grams in the above picture.

Adult Snow Female Keeper

The female snow in the picture is a 2007 and weighed 227 grams tonight. I hope to breed her in two to three months when she reaches 300 grams. Possibly to a dodoma male...we are undecided, but a rufescen male is the other possibility.
















































There is a phenomena in the Kenyan Sand Boa snows where as they age a rare few will become yellow and thus are called Yellow Snows.

This is an adult female yellow snow owned by and photography courtesy of Scott Miller (Erycine1@aol.com) I purchased 2.2 quad sometime last year from this females litter.


















This is the male father of the litter I purchased, he is also a nice looking yellow snow. He is owned by and photography courtesy of Scott Miller (Erycine1@aol.com).

















I keep hoping my girl continues to yellow up but maybe she will just be a lighter colored snow. There is a growing movement to attempt to prove out the hypo gene found in all the Kenyan morphs, however rare, by starting witht the yellow snows. What is strange about the yellow snow gene is that even by breeding a yellow snow to a yellow snow there is no guarantee the entire litter will end up as yellow snows.

Western Hogs

Here are a couple pictures of some female Western Hognoses we have been holding back.
