I read about that earlier today & was going to post it. Glad ya beat me to it! I can't help but wonder how much of that is an exaggeration. The description I...
I'd imagine feral cats don't eat too many alligators :) And capys are vegatarian (and very cool). Burms on the other hand are an introduced apex predator,...
capybara aren't the ones taking over the south........... those are called nutria and resemble muskrats. But nutria eat anything and everything and are...
Currently there are around 50 snakes listed on the World Conservation Union's Redlist of Threatened Species, and many more at-risk, threatened and endangered...
... This is all great advice. Thanks for posting it on the Snake conservation list. ... "If you talk with the animals they will talk with you and you will know...
... Thank you!!! It was late. All I could think of was capybara! I knew it was a large rodent...but yes, it was the nutria I was thinking of. :) I just think...

Capybara are cool, though, lol. But I think they might be protected.... There is a smaller related species, the mara, or patagonian cavy, that can make a...
Venomoids'' are venomous snakes that have been altered by surgery to make them non-venomous. This is done by having the snake's venom sacs completely removed,...
Not to deliberately sound offencive, but why do I get the feeling you are going to jump on the bandwagon of *every* issue you hear about? Noble causes are all ...
... Hi Adam, What causes do you think "deserve a bit more attention in this day and age?" This is a snake conservation list and everything is connected. What...
This website was sent by someone (thank you, Allen) on another list. Some of the articles that I found, I couldn't access the video. This one gives a balanced...
Considering the state we both live in, I'd have thought it would be a bit obvious. Rattlesnake roundups are held in New Mexico several times each year. They...
Perhaps, Adam if this gentleman becomes State Land Commissioner, it might be a start to end the Rattlesnake Roundups. When he was the SLC a few years back, he...
It's a nice hope, but considering the attitude most of this state has towards animals in general, I don't see it happening anytime soon. I mean, for petes...

I do shows whenever possible, sometimes with Exotics of the Rainforest, sometimes as an independant. Always educational. -Adam ... "You killed him?" Garion...
... Well, if NM has ANY chance of addressing issues like rattlesnake round-ups, Ray Powell is probably are best chance within the government. I don't want to...
... That's why this list was put together in the first place - to be a place where people who are interested in snake conservation issues could gather, discuss...
Forgive me but I have to put in my two cents here: 90% of venomoid operatuions are NOT performed by veterinarians, they ARE hack-jobs performed by novices and...
... Well darn, I was hoping, at least, that the practice wasn't so barbaric these days. Are there any good articles or published research about this subject?...
Someone in another forum I belong to mentioned that the snake's head wasn't attached, as in totally missing, as if this was something that had been set up by...
Right on Roy... and my two cents.... Aren't Rattlesnakes the very Venomoids that are most affected in the US by these terrible practices?? I challenge anyone...
Ok, before this starts a huge flame-war, let me just preface this that I don't find it funny that someone lost their pet. What I find funny in an ironic sense...
