Diadem Snake
Spalerosophis diadema
The diadem snake is an egg-laying snake of dry habitats from North Africa through western and central Asia. Adults have a pale sandy ground color with dark dorsal blotches, a marked head and large eyes. It is maintained by specialist reptile collections. Housing needs secure ground space, concealed retreats, access to water and a controlled thermal gradient reflecting its dry-land origin. Some snakes formerly grouped under this name, including S. atriceps, are now separate species.
