Psammophis
''Psammophis'' is a genus of colubrid snakes currently comprising 34 species found in Africa and Asia.〔UETZ P. 2012. (editor). The Reptile Database. http://www.reptile- database.org/.〕 ''Psammophis'' are diurnal and prey on lizards and rodents which they actively hunt. All species in the genus are venomous, and the venom is considered mild and not dangerous to humans.〔BATES MF, BRANCH WR, BAUER AM, BURGER M, MARAIS J, ALEXANDER GJ, DE VILLIERS MS. (editors). 2014. Atlas and Red List of the Reptiles of South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland. Suricata 1. South African National Biodiversity Institute, Pretoria.〕 ==Etymology== The generic name ''Psammophis'' was coined by the German herpetologist Heinrich Boie in 1826, a compound of the Hellenistic Greek ψαμμο, "sand" + Classical Greek ὄϕις, "snake", thus sand-snake.〔''Oxford English Dictionary'', 3rd edition, (''s.v.'' )〕
