Yes, that’s right, the second phase of our snake telemetry project has begun. At 18:00 today (25/12/2011) we released FC01 – the first Forest Cobra (Naja melanoleuca) of the second phase of our snake telemetry project.
Read more and follow FC01 here!.
Ok, in less than a week our Forest Cobra will be undergoing surgery under the steady hand of Suzanne to have his telemtry unit fitted. A big thank you to the Invicta Arachnid Club from the UK for their donation towards this.
We are testing a new release site which will allow us to better observe the Forest Cobras without disturbing them, after surgery all the snakes will be monitored and left to recuperate for a length of time to ensure that there are no unexpected complications from the surgery.
Operation on Tuesday!
