    1. Ros - No the snakes aren't poisonous. This is important information for anybody wanting to work with snakes in the future.

  2. How do you decide if its a female or male after you have inserted the probe?

    1. The anal pouch inside the tail of a male snake is much longer than that of a female.

  3. This is quite odd for a person like me who is very afraid of snakes. Which course is this and what year of upper secondary education are the students in?
