'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.

Your Snake Is Not The Only One Not Eating!!!!!

I'm now going on week three of  'springfever' throughout my racks. That means the males no longer find any interest in food and some of the females also lose interest in eating. This is NORMAL even for young babies. Kenyan breeding pairings are matched year round as they will readily breed pretty much anytime of the year if you keep the room temperature around 80. But every spring the males go off food and some of the females do the same. It is not uncommon to have a male not eat during the entire spring and summer. We typically will start offering our males feed every other week during this time of the year, I can't stand the possibility that they just 'might' eat....they never do.

Remember, when your snake does not eat the first thing to do is to check the temperature on your hot spot. Hot spots need to be 95-105 degrees, no less, or there is a good chance they will not eat.

Green Phase and Regular Western Hognose Holdbacks

Here's a bunch of pictures of green and regular Western Hognoses in our collection. The majority are females and were all born in 2010.



























This girl kept her tail in a tight ball the size of her head the entire shoot. There's shots where she puts it right next to her head and its hard to tell where her head is. I bought her as a captive bred but now am wondering...lol. None of our other hogs ever get this defensive, it was a great shoot. Hope you enjoy. Mark@LHALegal.com
