Natasha

 

"Black Russian" Sand Boa

Eryx miliaris nogaiorum

 

Natasha is our geriatric snake, which is unfortunate because it is hard to see such an uncommon species in the twilight of their years. It appears her kidneys are failing, and so we have to provide her with lots of TLC. We are very lucky to have a wonderful reptile vet here in town, so he is presiding over her care as well.

"Black Russian" Sand Boa

Eryx miliaris nogaiorum

 

This particular subspecies of sand boa is one of Christine's favourite snakes! She always has her eyes peeled for more. Not many of this species exist in Canada, and we only have females at the time. We hope to obtain a male in the future.

"High Orange" Paradox Albino Kenyan Sand Boa

Eryx colubrinus

 

Another long-awaited Kenyan morph for us. We cannot wait to see what he produces! He'll be involved with Nuclear and albino projects in the future.

Nairobi

 

Kenyan Sand Boa

Eryx colubrinus

 

Nairobi was Marc's first snake. We got her as a yearling, and she's growing like a weed. We're hoping that she'll be ready for a late 2006 breeding.

Tanith

 

Paradox Albino Kenyan Sand Boa

Eryx colubrinus

 

We were looking for albino paradox Kenyans for some time, so seeing this girl for sale was very exciting. She is a possible het for paradox snow, which we hope to prove out in the future.

Ormr

 

Paradox Snow Kenyan Sand Boa

Eryx colubrinis

 

Finally we were able to obtain a snow Kenyan! The fact that he is paradox is the icing on the cake. Absolutely stunning eyes on this one.

Belynda

 

Rough-scaled Sand Boa

Eryx conicus

 

A beautiful female conicus from the USA. Hopefully in 2008 she will be ready to breed. Belynda or 'Bindi' is based on an old German name that is thought to have been rendered from the term 'beautiful serpent'.

Rough-scaled Sand Boa

Eryx conicus

 

This girl is FULL of attitude! We're very interested in various sand boa species and morphs, and these rough-scaleds are the start of our sand boa breeding colony.

Bueller

 

Saharan/Mueller's Sand Boa

Eryx muelleri

 

A real oddity in the boa world, this species lays eggs. These guys can be differentiated from Kenyans by the fleshy hook at the end of their tail and their oddly shaped brown head. We're hoping to find a female soon.
