Boa Russian Sand history
The Russian Sand Boa is native to central Asia, where it inhabits desert areas from southern Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Mongolia, and other parts of western China. Russian Sand Boas may often be easily confused with Turkish Sand Boas. Although once relatively rare among western herpetological groups, Russian Sand Boas have become more popular in recent years and numbers of captive breedings are beginning to rise.
