Watch the Founders Live

Our first founding Kenyan sand boas, live right now in quarantine. Every new snake spends its first weeks here, on camera, before it moves onto the observation rack.

Quarantine. Sand boas spend much of their time buried, so an empty-looking tub is normal. The boxes and labels come from AI tools that are still learning and are not validated. Formal behavioral data collection has not begun.
Offline Right Now

Camera Resting

The camera over tubs QT-01 and QT-02 is not streaming at the moment. It comes back on its own; meanwhile, meet the founders on their own pages.

About the quarantine camera

Meet the founders

Each founder has its own page with its morph, breeder, and records.

Why quarantine

New snakes stay apart from the rack for their first weeks, so any health problem shows up before they share the room with the others.

The rest of the founders

Round 1 of the Founders’ Fund brings home the remaining founders, from 20 unrelated lines, and finishes the last cameras.

The Observation Rack

Five Rows, Twenty Enclosures

Same environment. Real data. Individual stories. Rack 1 is built, with a camera over every pair of tubs; the founders move in after quarantine. The Founders' Fund finishes the last cameras.

Why Cameras Matter

Not Just Entertainment

The cameras are part of the observation system used to document how often animals emerge, how long they remain visible, and when surface activity occurs.

Read how those recordings become measurements on the methods page.
