Wow thanks for the detailed reply, it's much appreciated!

Essentially then in a nutshell (unless i'm misunderstanding), it's generally still Eryx but some will use Gongylophis but really we're talking the same thing anyways?
I probably shouldn't worry about trying to pigeonhole them as Kenyans or Egyptians, since it's most likely they originated from Tanzanian stock and they all now tend to be called "Kenyans"?

I guess East African Sand Boas works regardless lol.

Thanks again for the breakdown and i hope i'm comprehending this all correctly.

Too many Chris' here too haha i'll just keep my screenname to avoid further confusion ;P
