Methods

Reptiles were surveyed along transects (2km mean lenght) surveys during the day and opportunistic night walks. Well-defined transect routes were walked and all reptiles within 5m either side were recorded. Each of the sample routes at all camps were searched for reptiles during daylight hours, generally starting between 8:00-9:00h AM. For all observed animals the distance along the transect was recorded as well as the perpendicular distance to the centre of the transect. Snakes were preferentially identified from a distance, although trained herpetologists did capture non-venomous species (after careful visual identification) to collect additional morphometric data.
