11 Day's - 2 Boa's

Rescued 2 Common Sand Boa's, within 11 day's...!!!

Common Sand Boa (Gongylophis conicus) is a non-venomous species of snake found in India,Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
In India it can be mistaken at first glance for either the Indian Rock Python (Python molurus molurus) or the deadly Russell's Viper (Daboia russelii), Active at night, Sand Boa feeds on worms, small reptiles & mammals.
Suitable habitat for Sand Boa's is sandy tracts of central and southern India. Although Sand Boa's are slow but can strike rapidly, kills its prey by constriction.

 

The First Sand Boa was rescued on 04/10/2014 from Shakar road, Jogeshwari(W),Mumbai-400102.
the snake was already captured by one of the local guy who had informed me about the snake, he had captured the snake with out knowing which species it is, so i had to rush there keeping Russell's viper in mind.

 The Second Boa was rescued on 15/10/2014 from Bhavan's college, Andheri(w), Mumbai-400058.
The Boa was 2.5+ fts, was in a dried drainage pipe. It took only 5-6 minutes to rescue the snake.

Both the snakes were rescued safely and released back to wild in suitable habitat.



THANK YOU...!!!
