THE African Snakebite Institute has just released it’s 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 that people find difficult to identify.
