i bred my anery female to my normal male for the second time. the first time i didn;t give it much thought. but this time i am a little more curious. from the pics you will see that one is quite a bit lighter in color ( several others are as well, these are the few who have shed ) is it just a normal of lighter color or is it that one was het for something unexpected?

this is very normal for the kenyan sand boa. These animals have a very wide variation of color that is natualy occuring. Much of the color differences that we see have to do with different subspecies/localities being bred together over the years. What you are seeing in this animal is the yellow color associated with the egyption sand boa. Even if there was no other species bred together there are still many different shades on the market, many of which are animals that have been line bred for specific traits/colors.
