WELCOME TO SAVING SNAKES

Category: A. SNAKES, F. OTHER STUFF | Date: Nov 21 2007 | By: admin

Bio-Ken Snake Farm in Watamu, Kenya is actively involved in the saving of snakes. This is our first post and over the next few weeks we hope to introduce you to the active work we are doing in the field. Please check out our web site until then www.bio-ken.com Below is a picture of an Egyptian Cobra Naja haje that was saved from being beaten to death two years ago.The photograph was taken a last year by Anton Childs of Bio-Ken and although the snake has a broken back and therefore will never be released as you can see she is looking great and has helped us address the subject of killing snakes unnecessarily with this excellent portrait.

Fantastic, welcome Sanda, Royjan, Joseph and Boniface! Great to have you here. Please look at the lion guardians latest post - they have scaley visitors in their camp too! Looks like a speckled grass snake … but you are the experts.

Hi snake people… beautiful picture. Do you have any spotted grass snakes? I’m trying to identify a snake at the moment…would appreciate a picture.

Welcome to Wildlife Direct. I look forward to reading your posts and learning more about the much misunderstood snake.

Beautiful photo of the cobra! I am amazed that with a broken back it has survived this long. With a broken back what limitations must it overcome?
