I`ve been fortunate enough to be contacted by a local saying he`s got a strange snake. I`ve put together a small team and thus found a healthy romanian Sand Boa population this weekend. First live snakes since 1937! As you can imagine the location is top secret.

Very interesting. Congrats! I think the last report was from Southern Romania in 2011 and now in Dobrudja...

That's great! Although habitat loss is probably massive in Romania, I always guessed and hoped it would be rather a matter of time.
