Have you visited Panama recently or in the past? Are you planning a trip to the beautiful country? Many of you have or will embark on a trip through the rainforest. Although most people prefer to not see snakes, when one is pointed out you are fascinated and will surely snap a few photographs.
Have you ever wondered what the snake is in your photograph? Would you like to help out a research project?
Team Snake Panama is gathering information on the biology and distribution of snakes throughout Panama. This study is important because it will provide much needed information on where venomous and non-venomous snakes are residing. Furthermore, the study will provide much needed information on the general biology of snakes.
If you have photographs of snakes you saw during a visit to Panama or simply would like to learn more about the project or submit questions, please visit the Team Snake Panama website. You will find information on how to submit your photographs to the project. Furthermore, you can become active in the studies and mission.
Regardless of if you like snakes they are important to their environment and it is necessary to understand their biology to help conserve species and prevent deadly snakebites. Take a moment to check out the website and become involved in this important project!
