Kenyans are live bearers. I've seen it. It's slimy.
There's a very similar looking sand boa called the Mueller's sand boa (Eryx muelleri) which lays eggs. They're the same colors but have a very distinctive hooked tail. The Arabian sand boa (Eryx jayakari) also lays eggs.

"The serpent crams itself with animal life that is often warm and vibrant, to prolong an existence in which we detect no joy and no emotion. It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."
