Description

A group of stout-bodied snakes, all of which are competent burrowers. The largest, E. johnii rarely exceeds 120 cm. Most grow to around 60 cm in length. They have small eyes and hard, small scales to protect their skin from the grit of sand. There is a great deal of sexual dimorphism, females generally becoming much larger than males.

Geographic range

Found in south and southeastern Europe, Asia Minor, north, central, west and east Africa, Arabia, central and southwestern Asia, India, and Sri Lanka. Also in southwestern Canada, the western United States, and northwestern Mexico.

Fossil erycines have been found in rock strata over 50 million years old, and were once widespread in North America. Now, only two species remain in North America, as well as the sand boas in Africa, Asia, and southeastern Europe.

geografis berbagai

Ditemukan di selatan dan tenggara Eropa, Asia Kecil, utara, tengah, barat dan timur Afrika, Arab, pusat dan barat daya Asia, India, dan Sri Lanka. Juga di barat daya Kanada, barat Amerika Serikat, dan Meksiko barat laut .

fosil Erycines telah ditemukan di lapisan batuan lebih dari 50 juta tahun, dan pernah tersebar luas di Amerika Utara. Sekarang, hanya dua spesies tetap di Amerika Utara, serta Boas pasir di Afrika, Asia, dan Eropa tenggara.

Behavior

The majority of these snakes spend much of their time basking below the surface of the sand, with only their eyes or head exposed on the surface. When a potential prey item approaches, they erupt out of the sand, bite and employ constriction to subdue it.

Sebagian besar ular menghabiskan banyak waktu mereka berjemur di bawah permukaan pasir, dengan hanya mata atau kepala terpapar pada permukaan. Ketika mangsa potensial mendekati, mereka meledak keluar dari pasir, menggigit dan menggulungnya

Feeding

Reproduction

Otherwise far removed from their boine cousins, one thing they do have in common is that they are generally ovoviviparous, i.e., giving birth to live young. Still, at least three species lay eggs: the Calabar Python, Charina reinhardtii (once regarded as a python for this reason), the Arabian Sand Boa, Eryx jayakari, and the West African Sand Boa, E. muelleri.

reproduksi

tidak jauh dari sepupu boine mereka, mereka memiliki kesamaan bahwa mereka umumnya Ovoviviparous, yaitu, melahirkan . Namun, setidaknya tiga spesies bertelur: Python Calabar, Charina reinhardtii (kadang dianggap sebagai python ), Boa Pasir Arab, Eryx jayakari, dan boa pasir Afrika Barat, E. muelleri.
