 Upload your own reptile and amphibian photos photos at gallery.kingsnake.com, and you could see them featured here! Study on relocation of snakes shows disappointing results As humans expand into natural areas that snakes inhabit, relocation of many species often occurs. Great care is taken to find what is felt to be suitable habitat, but is that the answer? Do snakes actually adjust? Do the snakes reestablish and thrive? That is a question lead ANU Associate Professor Gavin Smith in Australia to embark on a long term study with the venomous Eastern Brown. In 2021 Canberra Snake Tracking Project was hatched to look at the impact of translocation on snakes in urban areas. The project has tracked snakes that have been caught in homes and backyards in Canberra and then relocated into reserves, as well as snakes which already call those reserves home.
