Abstract
A snake rescue project, named Sarpa Sathi, has been running around Jawai dam area, Rajasthan, India since 2019, where during a rescue operation of snake, we sighted and recorded the rare Leith’s Sand Snake (Psammophis leithii). Previous documentation of this particular species has been reported from other parts of Rajasthan but proper photographic evidence with identification of the same has been possible for the first time.
