Abstract

The towns of Ivory Coast are home to a diverse squamate fauna, including two families of snakes, Typhlopidae and Leptotyphlopidae, which have been poorly studied. In order to improve our knowledge on scolecophidians, sampling was carried out in the town of Grand Bassam and surrounding areas from April to August 2022. Among a sample of 40 specimens, a total of five species were collected. Of the four sites sampled, the Asian invasive Indotyphlops braminus (Daudin, 1803) was the most common.
