Hi
Not too sure whether there will be any colour change, but the males tend to be more colourful than the females.

Hi Dan, TBH I do not know about Kenyans but I do know that several varieties of snake do improve as they grow and shed. Any chance of a photo, 'cos we all love to see photos ? Very Happy

not up to date on kenyan sand boa genetics, but my guess is that you would get all 100% het for snow

Yup that is what I thought. Snow is a recessive gene isn't it ? In which case you would get a whole clutch that was 100% het for snow - very nice too... Very Happy
