Indian sand boas scales have small litters, typically 4-10 babies in each. Babies are born red with black stripes. As the snakes age, the stripes fade and the orange becomes brown. There are a few lines that retain the orange.
It's Red sand boa...part of Boa's family its a constrictor snake and non venomous. Pretty young one hence the colors....as they grow they loose the red to gain brownish..
Probably the only snake which can dig in the sand...that's why the front tip of the nose is so hard...acts like a shovel...

ReplyDeletePlease have mercy on the wild life and take measures to save these creatures. So many of them already endangered, we do not want these to be left to the mercy of people selling for fat money. Leave them to nature if you find the snakes and be the rescuers instead of hunters.
