Cute bugger from Egypt. Eats small anoles.

This was the only picture I could find of a Coluber sinai. They look similar, but the head on yours looks very different IMO.

I'd love to hear Doug's opinion on this one.

I am glad you found it because I looked on the internet and could not. Thanks.

I just had to look it up, I was fascinated with how much it looks like a Kingsnake.

Hey Dan,

This is William. If you have any questions concerning any egyptian snakes let me know. I have a lot of knowledge in that area. EIRENIS CORONELLA is what you have, common name does not really matter but I would not call it a dwarf sinai. Sinai Banded Racers(Platyceps sinai) are in a different genus. Crowned Dwarf Snake is one common name. Keep in touch if you get anything I am interested in!

Just wondering if you could have a guess at these snakes for me.

They were sold as egyptian racers, though whether they actually came from egypt is questionable.

I was thinking maybe rhodorachis but I'm sure i found another picture that was very close.

One thing i can say is that you bleed a lot from such a tiny bite when they chew.

Thanks

Mike
