The African Snakebite Institute has just released its first online snake identification course.
This is a world first for snake identification of southern African snakes.
The eight-part course covers groups of snakes that are tricky to identify, frequently encountered and medically important snakes, including sections on common garden snakes, the deadly dozen, small black snakes, green snakes and a variety of other snakes.
In-depth information, informative imagery and distribution maps are provided for each species.
Together with the free ASI Snakes app, which has reached close on 100 000 downloads, the online course will boost knowledge and awareness of southern African snakes and contribute significantly to their conservation.
The full course curriculum can be viewed here: https://bit.ly/asionlinecourses.
