A történet hol kezdődött az egész

The Arabian sand boa was first described scientifically in the 19th century and named after Atmaram Sadashiv Jayakar, an Indian surgeon and naturalist. For many years it was rarely seen in captivity because few were exported from the Arabian Peninsula and those that were often refused to eat mice. Recently, more have become available to hobbyists, and captive breeding has revealed that this species lays eggs, unlike most other sand boas which give live birth. This unique trait has led some experts to suggest it may belong in its own genus.12
