Breeding an "Egyptian" to a "Kenyan" does not create a hybrid. These two sand boas are subspecies under the same species Eryx colubrinus loveridgei vs. Eryx colubrinus colubrinus. Breeding two subspecies together creates an intergrade. Whether or not these two subspecies are valid is debatable.......
