Species of snake
Eirenis barani, also known commonly as Baran’s dwarf racer and the Baran dwarf racer,[2] is a species of snake in the subfamily Colubrinae of the family Colubridae. The species is native to the Near East. There are two recognized subspecies.
The specific name, barani, is in honor of Turkish herpetologist Ä°brahim Baran.[3]
Eirenis barani is found in southern Turkey and northwestern Syria.[2]
The natural habitats of Eirenis barani are Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation and rocky areas, at altitudes from sea level to 1,700Â m (5,600Â ft).[1]
The holotype of Eirenis barani has a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 228Â mm (9.0Â in) and a tail length of 78Â mm (3.1Â in). The dorsal scales are smooth, and are arranged in 17 rows at midbody.[4]
Eirenis barani is oviparous.[2]
Two subspecies are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.
