Jayaka’s Sand Boa

Imageresult for Jayaka’s Sand Boa

This dark serpent is one of Qatar's only non-venomous snakes. However, despite lacking the ability to poison its prey, it is a champion at wrestling. Waiting just below the sand, the Jayaka's sand boa will erupt and strangle its victim! But not to worry, this snake usually only grows to a length of 60cm (about two feet).
