BOUGHT A BUSH SNAKE ITS FREEDOM

Category: 4. Colubridae - TYPICAL SNAKES | Date: Nov 26 2007 | By: admin

Just a short one. The builders on a building site at plot 40c Watamu, had cornered a young Speckled Bush Snake Philothamnus punctatus on the veranda of the main house. Refusing to listen to me about the fact that it was not poisonous and so should be left alone, I decided to offer some money for it instead. Ksh 100/= about one and a half US dollars is what we agreed, so I handed the workmen the cash and took the snake home where I took this one picture and then released him in the garden.

Lucky for the snake that I was there.

A fine job! It is sad that many times money must be offered to people in order to save animals. I have to do it many times in many parts for many kinds of animals. Thank you for all you and your team are doing to save snakes!
