For snake removals in and around Grahamstown, please don't hesitate to call 083 669 6169 (Chad). All snakes removed are catalogued and relocated safely out of harms way.
Olive ground snake (Lycodonomorphus in ornatus). A relatively large lamprophiid, that until recently was considered a member of the the house snake genus. Recent phylogenetic work has shed light on its likely relatedness to African water snakes.
Myself and Werner Conradie posing with a baby crocodile that I caught while looking for frogs. The crocodile was released into the stunning stream behind us.
