a Muller's Saharan Sand boa. I got a female by accident. She was mistaken for a Kenyan. I noticed the difference when I got her home and looking into it Roy Stockwell helped me figure out just what species of sand boa she was. But now I can't find anyone in Canada that keeps these guys. Is anyone else out there with these snakes. Apparently there were only about 250 in captivity in the U.S. in 2003 and only 2 successful breeders to date. They have only been in Captivity in the U.S. since 2000. I'm not even sure if there are any in Canada besides this girl or if she is the only one.
Here is a picture of her.
Notice the similarities to Kenyans. The differences being that they have a grayish head that is also wider. They have a patterns similar to the Kenyans but the colors are in reverse possitions. They also have a little hook at the end of their tails and feel much more smooth than kenyans, kind of like glass.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else who keeps these guys in Canada or the U.S. I've talked to Rick (one of the first breeders int he U.S.) and he has helped tramendously.
