MOLE VIPERS SAVED IN MERU
Category: 5. Atractaspididae - ATRACTASPIDS | Date: Nov 23 2007 | By: admin
Today Anthony Childs saved these two Small Scaled Mole Vipers (Burrowing Asps) Atractaspis microlepidota at Elsa’s in Meru National Park. They were found at different times on the Rock. On putting them in the release box they started getting frisky to the extent of fighting, there was a little blood but he believes they were mating, as at one point they were completely wrapped in each others embrace. He released them at a location within the National Park where they would be less likely to come into contact with people and maybe start a family where they would not be disturbed. Well done Anton!

Thank you Royjan for your kind e-mail to me! The information that you give me is just outstanding and encouraging!! I do not know such problematic. Next year some tinghs will administratively change in the ACWP (a conservation organization very interested in WD) and that means good news for the great work you and your team are doing there! Thank you so much for your efforts in protecting snakes!!
