I had this lil snake gievn to me the other day and it is awesome.I am pretty sure it is a female and weighs around 260 grams.She pounds rats like crazy.I would like to find a mate for her sooner or later if anyone is breeding these.There are more pics of her on the link below sorry for the poor pics.The pics make her look alot darker that she really is.

that is a very nice female eryx tataricus. definitely not a jayakari.

That is kind of a tough one from that photo. It is definitely not jayakari, but I'm hunge between tataricus and miliaris on this one.

The shape of the snout is certainly tataricus like but something about the top of the head and the color pattern really just screams miliaris at me? I guess with a couple more head shots (side and front) plus a body shot might sway me one way or the other.

That looks like a big female miliaris to me.

id say miliaris, the milairis tail is fatter then tartaricus,it is a nice orange color. this is jayakari see the tail.

dont feel bad those are great snakes,they have a lot of personality,i was looking at the other pictures of it, it is a nice looking snake,this is an old picture of some miliaris i got from chrish

The one I have doesnt look like either of the ones yall are talking about but I dont know anything about the sand boas.So here is somemore pics.The color is a little off she has more orange than what the pics show.But please tell me what yall think.The pattern kinda looks like some of the ones yall said but the color is way off.More pics at the link below.

coclor and pattern can vary alot among individuals. i agree with chris and robert, it is a female eryx miliaris. i didnt look close enough at the pics.

I want to thank everyone for your help in firguring this lil snake out.I have never owned any sand boas and this one was gave to me.Now I just need to find her a mate sooner or later.But she is a cool little snake eats great and all.
I was just lost on the color of her.But atleast we firgured it out and I thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
