Hi all,
I'm a mature student, reading BSc (Hons) Animal Conservation and Biodiversity at Greenwich University. I've always had a passion for 'exotic' species, especially the vipers and crocs but am slightly ashamed to say that, until recently, I never paid much attention to our fantastic native herps.
I plan to change all that now, and am about to start my final year research project on Vipera berus, so will no doubt be driving you all mad with questions shortly Forum looks great!
The following photos are some of my herpy highlights from a recent trip to South Africa, where we tagged and tracked black mambas and forest cobras as part of an on-going behaviour study:
Happy herping!
