Amblyodipsas ventrimaculata View in CoL

– Broadley (1971) noted this fossorial snake was restricted to Kalahari sands in northern Botswana, adjacent eastern Namibia, and western Zambia. It is a specialist feeder on fossorial reptiles and several suitable prey items (e.g., Zygaspis quadrifrons View in CoL and Typhlacontias rohani View in CoL ) occur in south-east Angola.
