Eryx conicus - Sand boa

Image
Eryx conicus. Common name Sand boa. In Mount Abu this species is not common. Many times when people call us for snake rescue we usually, come across Rat snake, Spectacle cobra, Wolf, snake, Green Keelback, Russell viper, checkered keelback, but not Sand boa. Seen very seldom. Once again, thankful to colleague for timely call and shared all the information. Rescued and released in Mount Abu wildlife sanctuary. #sandboa #rescue #reptile #reptilesofindia #snakesofindia #crawl #wriggling #enviornment #ecochain #foodchain #wildlife #hikes #cravice #wildlifetour #tourism #bushwalk
