    Anyone else like Kenyan Sand Boas?
    I've had this pair for a few years now and finally got some babies from them this past spring. 4 Live babies a couple of stillborns and a slug. It's been tough getting the babies to feed regularily though I've gotten them all to take live pinkies. Anyone else have any? They're kind of fun and not much work though they do hide quite a bit. Anyone know what kind of morphs are available?

    I love them~ Bought my first two this year, an albino paradox and an anery stripe. Hoping to breed when they grow up. ^-^
    About morphs: there are plenty I know of, and plenty I don't, but the Sandboa Book has all the information about them you'd ever need. I preordered one and should be getting it in early January. A good place to go for anything sandboas, and also where you can preorder the book, is sandboakeepers.com. It doesn't have a ton of active users but it's a great place.

    I like them! Used to have a couple, bred them once, got 11 babies. It was crazy cool. Those little ones were great. They ate very well too - took live baby pinkies right off the tongs just fine. All of them would submerge themselves under the aspen and you could tell when they were hungry because they'd poke their little noses up out of the aspen waiting for food. I'd just dance the pinky (F/T) on the aspen an inch or so away and they'd sneak out and grab it like they were from the movie Tremors or something. LOL.

    Yours look great. I had a Het Snow and an Anery.

    Mine is still young, at the very least 8 months. He/she is a garbage disposal, live, f/t, pre killed , it makes no difference.

    Mine are still kind of finicky, Lately I've taken to putting a frozen thawed pinkie into a small plastic portion cup along with a live pinkie, occaisionally they'll take both but more often then not they'll take the live pinkie and leave the dead one.
