Snake ID

[Mohamed Almazrouei]

Good day all, found this Snake at Ajban farms today 19th March, very fast, slim with a small head, i guess the length was 1.3 to 1.5 M. It was making its way through the farms when i saw it, couldn't get a decent full body pic of it

Is it a Wadi Racer? Sand Racer?

Nicely captured!

based on the resource i have, this should be afro-asian sand snake (psammophis schokari schokari)

well done sir.

Well done, Mohamed. Agree with Ahmed, looks like an Afro-Asian sand snake to me too based on the thick dark stripe extending from the snout through the eye and into the pattern of the body (referenced Snakes of Arabia by Damien Egan). However, I hope you get some expert opinion on this ;)

Psammophis schokari for sure. Nice one.
