    West or East African Sand Boas?

    I got these boas from 2 different sources. Both told me they were Kenyan, but someone mentioned that the pattern on one looked a bit like it could be a West African rather than a Kenyan, and that's important for me to know because I have males and females together, and the West Africans lay eggs, and the East Africans have live birth. I have no idea if I can tell the difference, or if anyone can, I've read a lot of conflicting information about identification.

    Here's photos of all 4.

    Agamemnon (normal male)








    Ashura (Anerythristic male)







    Akasha (normal female, has some eye trauma from when I got her)









    Cascabel (normal female)








    Any advice would be appreciated!

    After a quick scan they all look like kenyans. Maybe you could just post pics of the one in question to make it easier? West Africans look similar to kenyans but can easily be identified. They usually have a brown head and they have a claw like tail.

    They look Kenyan to me, but I can't be sure.

    Right, that's what I was thinking, but someone who is very experienced in reptiles (though that seems to not mean anything any more ) told me one might not be a kenyan, and it had me worried!!!!!
