おもしろい事実
It's one of the few boa species found in Africa and the Middle East, not just the Americas.
Its rough, keeled scales help it grip the sand, preventing it from slipping while burrowing.
The sand boa is nocturnal, meaning it wakes up to hunt when you're sleeping!
This snake gives birth to live young, it doesn't lay eggs like many other reptiles!
