Snakes - Volume-1 in the Faunacap Series on The Capture Handling and Restraint of Animals

Snakes is a program filmed and written by wildlife professionals to provide information for personnel who specialize in working with reptiles, either in a captive or research environment. It's packed with information on best practice methods used in capture, handling and restraint of venomous and non venomous snakes.

Descriptions are provided for tube and pit fall traps that are often used when collecting research data. Equipment such as the PVC Tube trap, trap placement and clearing information describes what to look for during the placement of the trap. Safe and successful trap use requires knowledge and experience.

Other chapters cover safe handling techniques and equipment, measuring and weighing methods and some basic veterinary procedures.

This program is essential reference material for anybody involved in the capture and keeping of snakes, and makes ideal training material for zoo staff, wildlife professionals and volunteers. This would be a valuable addition to libraries in tertiary education facilities teaching animal handling, training, zoo- keeping or veterinary science personnel.

This program comes with a comprehensive manual in PDF format.
