Depending on what part of africa the Kenyans are from, they are either more yellow or more orange. Realize, though, that the high orange kenyans you see on the forum have been bred for generations for that color. Your's looks like a normal yellow without the high yellow that seems typical of them these days. Don't get me wrong though, she's still a beauty.

Hope that helps,
Carraig

My guess was a dirty anery, but I am not familiar enough with the large variety that the kenyans have to know for sure. What ever she is, she is a really nice snake.

Yeah, you could be right, but as anery is the lack of color pigment, that light yellow seems to disprove that theory. Either way, it's a nice snake.

Actually anery is a lack of red pigment. Yellow is quite common in anerythristic animals

the eyes are dark on an anery,if you start breeding dhets alot of the babies will come out with odd pale colors ,ive had litters that none of the babies look related ,i had a litter of dhets that were all a really nice orange,but none of their babies has a similar color.the one under the snow is a normal.

Ahh. . . Thanks. I've never owned a sand boa before (I'm much more of a burmese person) so this has been quite the experience. Thanks again.
