For what it's worth... I always look at what taxonomic name CITES is accepting and using.

I imported some Sand boas a couple years back and for the first time saw Kenyans listed as Gongylophis colubrinus, also on the same permit were some Johnii, also listed as Gongylophis johnii.

Rough Scales were listed as Eryx conicus...

This I believe is in line with the most recent Tokar classification.
