Place in iran with lots of snakes5/30/2023 The dorsal surface of the body was light red and the ven-tral surface was a little lighter. Each snake had a short tail with a spine at the tip. The body scales (except for the head scales) were of the same size and shape, but scales on the top of the head were modified into large shields. Results: Each specimen had a rounded snout and eyes as two black spots on its head. They were identified using their morphological and habitat characteristics compared with photographs and other data. Materials and Methods: In the present research, two snake specimens collected from Meshkat-Ravand in Kashan county in central Iran and were studied during May-June, 2019-2020. The aim of this study was to identify a new record of snake species collected from Isfahan province, central Iran. Given the importance of regional identification of snakes, reports on their distribution have attracted interest. Introduction and Objectives: Snakes are among the reptiles reported from different regions of Iran. Conclusions: Myriopholis macrorhyncha had not been reported from Isfahan Province before and this is the first time it is captured and identified in Kashan County located in Isfahan Province. In this study, the length of the hook-snouted worm snake, Myriopholis macrorhyncha specimens were 31 cm and 28 cm. The dorsal surface of the body was light red and the ven-tral surface a little lighter. Each snake had a short tail and with a spine at the tip. The body scales (except for the head scales) were of the same size and shape, but the top of the head scales were modified into large shields. These cases provide further documentation about local envenoming caused by these species, and also emphasize the need for regional medical personnel to receive increased training in order to improve familiarity with the local snake fauna and evidence-based snakebite management. The medical team's unfamiliarity with snakebites contributed to the incorrect clinical management of one victim including the contraindicated, ineffective provision of antivenom. Two victims experienced progressive local edema that distressed the victims. The clinical effects consisted of local erythema, mild pain, transient bleeding and edema. We report here two cases of local envenoming from H. NFFS comprise a diverse group that constitute approximately 2900 species belonging to an estimated 15 families. However, in some population centers such as Kashan city (Isfahan Province, central Iran), approximately 80% of snakebites are attributed to "non-venomous" snakes that are often comprised of several species of non-front-fanged snakes (NFFS). In Iran, there are approximately 4500-6500 snakebites per year, but fortunately only 3-9 of these are fatal.
