Animal of the Day!

Arabian Sand Boa (Eryx jayakari)

(Photo in public domain)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Middle East

Size (Weight/Length)- 40 cm

Diet- Reptiles; Small mammals

Cool Facts- Yes, this is a snake and yes, its eyes are on the top of its head. Being completely nocturnal, the Arabian sand boa spends most of its life buried under sand. At dusk, they wiggle their way to the surface so that the majority of its body is hidden. This is where their eyes come into play. With eyes positioned on their forehead, the Arabian sand boa is a vicious ambush predator. When a gecko comes into range, the boa strikes and constricts the lizard to death. Luckily, people don’t have to worry about this little guy. They’re only big enough to get your pinky toe into its mouth.

Rating- 12/10 (Please don’t laugh, they’re sensitive about their appearance.)

I thought I'd paint a snake, what better to start with than the Arabian sand boa. He's a little shy so don't scare him too much.

LITTLE GUY ALERT

Arabian Sand Boa. These little guys can be found in the Arabian peninsula and Iran. They spend most of their days buried under the sand until night when they move towards the surface with only its eyes popping out. These little guys look like my very poor drawings of snakes.

I think the Blunt Headed Tree snake and the Arabian Sand Boa are two sides of the same coin. Blunt boy over here has GIGANTIC eyes, his vision is absolutely invasive, and because of this he looks very silly. The sand boa has the tiniest, stupidest, most shitily placed eyes known to man, and therefore also looks silly. They just can’t win.
