Without a photograph, this will be difficult. Does the snake have smooth or keeled scales?

Sorry, I don't have any pic yet. But I'm sure from the pictures that I have seen she is axanthic. Is she rare ? or valuable ?

I haven't figured out what it is yet. Obviously, if you can determine the sex of the snake (she) you can tell me if the thing has keeled or smooth scales.

It is an axanthic (anerythristic) Kenyan Sandboa. They aren't as common as regular kenyans in the pet market, but they certainly aren't rare.

She is smooth scaled, and from other pics that I have seen, she must be an Axanthic kenyan sand boa. Is this a rare type, or valuable ? She is about 18" and very full bodied.
