SAVED A RED HEAD BEAKED SNAKE
Category: 4. Colubridae - TYPICAL SNAKES | Date: Nov 22 2007 | By: admin
Yesterday afternoon we rescued a Red Head Beaked Snake Rhamphiophis rubropunctatus from Mr. Richard Bennett’s house in Watamu. It had first been wrongly identified as a Black Mamba Dendroaspis polylepis by the house staff. Fortunately it was not killed and we were called to remove it, just goes to show that even a snake as docile as the Red Head Beaked Snake can very easily be killed just for looking similar to a dangerous one. The snake was released into the wild about half a kilometre behind the snake farm. Photo by Mike Dobiey.

Beautiful snake! Good job in saving it from being killed. But even the dangerous snakes must be appreciated and rescued from a sure death by people that do not know about their value in nature.
