YES! TWO BUSH SNAKES FOR THE ONE WE LOST

Category: 4. Colubridae - TYPICAL SNAKES | Date: Nov 22 2007 | By: admin

This afternoon we collected two Speckled Bush Snakes Philothamnus punctatus from the Jimba area west of Bio-Ken. One normal, i.e. green in colour the second blue, a rare colour phase which is actually reasonably common in the Watamu area. The snakes were collected from two separate villages, both in good condition and were both released at the Snake farm about an hour latter. After the sad story of the one killed earlier in the day, it feels great to have been able to save two of the same species, in the same area, in the same day. Photos were not taken so we have posted two from our library for reference. Photos - Green by Sienna Burns, Blue by Dannie Throne
