Thanks, any and all comments will be greatly appreciated.

I absolutely love all My Kenyans and my Paradox Albino Sand Boa! Mine are extremely handeable, the only time i've been nipped is when my 2 year olds were neonates, and they'd mistake my fingers for pinkies, lol.
I keep my 3 males together in one enclosure, with no problems whatsoever, but that means i have to feed them separately, which is no big deal for me. I also keep my 2 females together in a 20 gallon enclosure, again i feed them in separate tubs, and have had no problems with them.
I would not recommend keeping males and females together, unless you have a plan in place for babies
I keep my Sand Boas on shredded aspen, after having them on Sand. With Aspen, the neat thing is you can see the tunnels they make when they burrow
The one downside to Kenyans, is that they do stay hidden and out of sight most of the time, though mine do make appearances in the evening.
