    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I´d like to know if anyone has ever seen this morph before?.. It´s a genetic trait, that´s one thing I do know, but I haven´t found anything like it. I´ve contacted David Barker, he didn´t recognize it and belived it to be a new morph. Although I want to be sure about that and that´s why I´d like to know if anyone have seen it before?

(There´s one normal and two odd once in the picture, just follow the link.)

I have not seen it, but I do not really follow Sand Boa morphs that much (I am a Rosy Boa guy). They do look HYPERmelanistic (especially the top one in the picture). Pretty cool snake that could potentially be bred into existing morphs to make more new morphs!
 
My partner breed them. The first time he got them were 2000, that year he got two. Since that between 30-50% off the offspring has been in that "morph". Even with different males the result has been the same.
 
Does he have any of them for sale? I'm interested in the brown one in the middle in the picture you posted. You can PM me with price, etc., if he has some for sale.
 
Those actually looks like a Russian Sand Boa bred with a Kenyan Sand Boa. The Russians have that brown look, some even have black. Though the Russians do not carry the yellow markings, so I think down the line before your partner bought those snakes their was a Russian bred into the line and you now have the awesome looking snakes you showed us. You should start a new line called the Sewedish Sand Boa.
 
Since there´s no Russians sandboas that we know about it feels VERY unlikely that it would be that and appear all the sudden. At least five generations are strictly normal captive bred Kenyans, probably more.
