The Nosy Komba ground boa (Sanzinia volontany) is a non-venomous boa species endemic to the island of Madagascar. It is brownish in colour and is found on the western side of the island. It was considered conspecific with the Madagascar tree boa.

Endemic to Madagascar. The type locality given is "Madagascar".

Arboreal and generally nocturnal, it feeds on mammals and birds. Its thermoreceptive pits help it to locate its prey. It will also leave the trees to actively hunt for small mammals on the ground.[1] Favors trees and shrubs near streams, rivers, ponds and swamps.[2]
