Remarks.
Jayakar’s Sand Boa is widely distributed across Arabia, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Yemen ( Gasperetti 1988; Carranza et al. 2021). It was recorded from Dhahran and Abqaiq ( Haas 1957, 1961; Leviton and Anderson 1967; Mandeville 1967), Al Jubail ( Martens 1996), and the Al Hassa and Al Qatif area ( Al-Sadoon 2010; Aloufi et al. 2023). In the islands of the Arabian Gulf, this species was reported from Auhha Island, Kuwait ( Amr et al. 2021), and Sir Bani Yas Island in the UAE ( Soorae 2004; Bourquin 2011).
