I don't often go to desert. But the few times i've been there, i never saw any snake. But i've come face to face with snakes a couple of times in my sites (construction). But these snakes happen to be the same; shape, size, and colour. The finger size gray colour snake. With a length of about 2"9. Most of you may have seen it, or maybe not. The name is Coluber Ventromaculatus. It's non-venomous and poses no danger. It's actually common in Qatar. But the bottom line is, when i see a snake, i either escape from it, or hunt it. Beware of snakes!
