Psammophis aegyptius, commonly known as the Saharan sand snake or Egyptian sand snake, is a species of highly agile, diurnal reptiles belonging to the family Psammophiidae.[2] Originally described by herpetologist Hymen Marx in 1958, it was historically classified as a subspecies of Psammophis schokari before genetic testing confirmed it as a distinct, valid species.
