Conclusion

Thanks to all those that partook in the interest survey. This allows people to start contacting each other and to start sharing information about the same species he/she has. This survey has also highlighted a few needs that needs to be looked at by the committee, namely:

  1. The suggestions for CRC general meetings and outings
  2. Course and / or information session – How to sex snakes
  3. Course and / or information session – Identification of snake sicknesses
  4. Indigenous snake ID course with live specimens.
