Seeing how many echis you found in such a small area, and seeing just how feisty they are, it's no surprise that snakes from this genus kill more people than any other venomous snakes.

Relocating snakes causes stress, so relocate and release them, and don't stress them further.

@LivingZoology

Жыл бұрын

We try to minimize stress to all snakes. That is why we are able to film natural behavior so easily. Sometimes we film defensive behavior and in those situations we need to interact more with the animal. But we always watch the behavior of the animal, don't work in bad weather (heat of the day), use professional tools, etc. Also, when there is a chance to educate people about snakes and give them a positive experience, we do it. By showing a cobra to locals in Africa you change their perspective of snakes forever. Many of those we met stopped killing snakes and now they respect them. So a little bit of extra stress for one snake can actually save many snakes of various species in that area in the future :)

There's always the risk of hurting a snake when handling them with tongs and they honestly shouldn't be used as often, or at all, as they are on snakes. People that use these are not pros just because they're on camera/the internet. Credentials: Many years of snake handling and knowing others that do as well. Including venomous such as vipers and elapids of course.

We already showed them to many snake rescuers around the world, especially in countries where they hate tongs (like India) and they were amazed how gentle they are, you cannot hurt the snake as it is not possible to close them totally. It requires training of course. It is never good to rule out any kind of tools. We use tongs for catches usually, hooks when we work with the snake, sometimes gloves, etc. Every tool has a good use in certain situation if it is used wisely.

Why are you removing these snakes? They belong where you found them.

@LivingZoology

Жыл бұрын

Well, when local people want to kill these snakes, they need to be removed. Either the snake will die or someone gets bitten. We rescue snakes and release them as close as possible. It is a trade off often, people obviously don't want to have snakes released close by, but you also cannot release the animal 10 km away, it will be disoriented and it can die.
