Sand Snakes is a term used to refer collectively to the bastard daughters of Prince Oberyn Martell.[1] The name references the Dornish bastard surname, Sand, and their father's nickname, “the Red Viper”.

Prince Oberyn's eight daughters have been born to five different mothers,[2] and while they differ in appearance from one another, they are said to all have their father's eyes.[1]

A Feast for Crows

After the three eldest Sand Snakes try to stir Prince Doran Martell into declaring war against the Iron Throne in revenge for the death of Prince Oberyn, Doran orders his captain of the guards, Areo Hotah, to take all Sand Snakes into custody.
