Kenyan Sand Boa Pictures Finally Here!

Here's the cute little male I picked up at the Chantilly NARBC Expo on Saturday. Still haven't named him though.

This gives you an idea of how tiny he is. The ruler is in centimeters. He cooperated about a minute later and measured about 10".


Here he is on my son's wrist. Don't worry, we are keeping handling to a minimum - just hard to resist.


A close up of his cute eyes!

Very cute.. I'm sure you'll really enjoy having a KSB. They're one of my favorite species.

Mellissa,
He looks great. I too think you will enjoy the heck out of him.

Very cute. I held one at a show in August and they are so smooth.

[muddoc]

they are so smooth.

Only when they are young. Once they start putting on some size, they start getting rougher, especially the closer you get to the tail.

[Jay_Bunny]

Oh wow, didn't know that. Do they stay smallish? I love thier eyes. So adorable.

KSB's don't get larger than about three feet.

My adult kenyans are still really smooth on their front end.. but yeah. towards the tail they get really rough.

Our new little guy is very smooth, but his tail seems slightly rough/dry. Is that what you are talking about? Or is this not good since he is so young (a month old or so)? Thanks!

It's been awhile since I've had a baby sand boa.. but I'd venture to say that's just their normal texture showing up.
