Smile Just some dull Kenyans...

Here are a few shots of my 2002 Kenyan Sands produced by Roy Stockwell. These things are growing so fast its unbelievable and I swear they are getting brighter every time they shed

Heres a shot of my male :



And one of the female :



Now a side-by-side shot to compare colors... My male is much brighter now as he just shed and the female is just going into her shed.



Thanks Uncle Roy, They're Awsome!!

Country:
Your pair are very nice! My male is a really nice contrast between black and orange, my female has a darker more intense orange, but her black is brownish and she's getting a lot of speckling. The orange is creeping into her brown/black spots. That's funny that your pair show the same difference!

Good luck with them!!

Hi Gang! . Yup that's my line alright!
Looks like you're doing a good job with them Kyle.
Gald to see you using the BETA CHIP
Curtis obviously gave you a couple of last years nice ones. I had a bang up season in 02 producing 50 Kenyans, 4 litters..., my best year to date for those guys
Males are always nicer than females. This is true for many snakes and is hard to rectify through selective breeding...I'm working on it though.
Male Hondurans, and numerous other male snakes are also characteristically always nicer than females.
Female snakes that need to absorb heat during gestation, tend to develope more melanin to facilitate heat uptake.(at least that is one theory)
I'm making it a point to hold back my brightest females for future breeding in attempt to bring their colour up to par with the males.., but I can almost sex them by colour the hour they are born.
Kyle, the colour does indeed intensify for the first year or two. Once sexually mature there will be no furthur increase in color and adult snakes dull down slightly with time as the years roll by.
There is suddenly alot of international interest in these "Nuclear Kenyans" You'd be shocked the prices I've been offered. I will export my first ones this year.(The Canadian government being willing of course)
