WATAMU BARK SNAKE RESCUED TODAY

Category: 4. Colubridae - TYPICAL SNAKES | Date: Nov 21 2007 | By: admin

This morning a good specimen of the rare Watamu Bark Snake Hemirhagerrhis hildebrandtii was collected from Mr. Mickey Fernandez’s house on plot 41, Watamu. The snake was taken back to Bio-Ken for further study. Several of these snakes have been collected from the beach plots in Watamu. This means that hopefully their numbers in the wild are still good in the area. over 27 years of recording at Bio-Ken we have found all specimens between plot 5 and temple point at the end of the beach and not anywhere else.
