Proudly introducing the new ASIT1.0 Electronic Sna

Proudly introducing the new ASIT1.0 Electronic Snake Trap.
A collaborative project between
Lumin8 and the African Snakebite Institute, and a first in the world for electronic snake traps.

Tried and tested, these electronic snake traps are extremely useful for snake removal, especially on mines, hostels and barracks, and warehouses.
The trap is made of plastic tubing, and has a computerised circuit board with various sensors and mechanical parts. It is baited on the inside with a chicken egg or frozen mouse, and the idea is that the snake will smell the bait and enter the tube.
The entrance to the trap has a mechanised trap door. It is battery powered and lasts for more than a month on a set of alkaline batteries. The trap also makes provision for optional extras such as a GSM Modem for cellular communication, and an external solar panel or power source. When switched on, the trap is immediately reset, shows the battery status resets the trapdoor to its zero position and goes into sensor mode.
As the snake enters the trap, its presence is detected by the various sensors, and once in the trap, the trap door closes behind it.
If the trapdoor touches any part of the snake's tail or body, it will immediately reopen and close again, ensuring that the snake is not harmed.
The trap will then remain closed until the snake is retrieved by a qualified snake handler on site.
Price R8 000.00 for the basic unit and R10 000.00 for the mobile module.
Available directly from our website (link in bio) or email Mandy on info@asiorg.co.za for details.

Marbled tree Snake (Dipsadoboa aulica) Mildly veno

Marbled tree Snake (Dipsadoboa aulica) Mildly venomous although not dangerous to people.
An attractive nocturnal snake that shelters in tree hollows, under loose bark and particularly around thatch roofs where it hunts geckos.
When threatened it will coil loosely into a striking position with its head flattened and raised off the ground striking viciously.

Green Mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps) from the KZN

Green Mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps) from the KZN South Coast. A highly venomous snake that is largely restricted to thick coastal bush close to the sea in KZN and rarely accounts for bites. Such bites usually result in some swelling. It is not near as potent a venom as that of the Black Mamba but known to be potentially fatal. Harmless green snakes of the genus Philothamnus are often mistaken for the Green Mamba - note the large smile, coffin-shaped head if viewed from above and the odd scattered yellow scale. The eyes of the Green Mamba are dark green to green-brown or medium brown to greenish brown in juveniles. Harmless green snakes of the genus may have yellow to orange-yellow eyes, quite different to that of the Green Mamba.

Herald Snake (Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia) from the

Herald Snake (Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia) from the Caprivi, Namibia. In South Africa this snake often has a reddish upper lip and is called a Red-lipped Snake (Rooilippie) but over much of their range they do not have a red lip. In Kenya this snake is called a White-lipped snake.

This snake is common in suburban gardens where it feeds on toads. Its venom is mild and has virtually no effect on humans and pets.

The first Western Cape public meeting of the ASI H

The first Western Cape public meeting of the ASI Herpetological Association
will take place on the 16th of April 2021 in Milnerton.
Johan Marais will be talking on Herping with Giants.

Over the past 20 years, Johan has been rather fortunate to be in the field with the likes of the late Don Broadley, the late Bill Branch, the late John Visser, Marius Burger, Graham Alexander, Paul Moler, Randy Babb, Aaron Bauer, Gordon Setaro and Colin Tilbury, to mention but a few. These were trips to Madagascar, Mexico, Florida, Arizona, Namibia, Angola, Mozambique, Malawi and Uganda. While many trips lasted a week or so, more were as long as six weeks. Join Johan for an interesting talk on these extraordinary trips.

Strict COVID9 regulations will be followed.

Booking is essential. And can be done directly via our website on the ASI Herpetological Association page.
For any queries, please email Bianca on fin@asiorg.co.za

Common Egg-eater (Dasypeltis scabra) from Poffadde

Common Egg-eater (Dasypeltis scabra) from Poffadder in the Northern Cape, eating a bird egg. These snakes are harmless to humans, but like to put up an impressive defensive display when threatened. They coil and uncoil rubbing their heavily keeled scales together, which makes a sound similar to hissing.

Male Boomslang (Dispholidus typus) from East Londo

Male Boomslang (Dispholidus typus) from East London, South Africa. Highly venomous with haemotoxic venom. A docile snake that rarely bites.
