@Telescopus Please correct me if I’m wrong but are you saying this type of Bontveld is unique only to this specific area.
It seems like their habitats and the snakes themselves haven’t been studied very well, another reason to try and protect them.
It does seem as though there is a lack of research on them, nobody has answered my previous question yet. The land owners will ask for reasons based on research by recognised scientists before they will accommodate the conservation of this species. I feel that the ball is in 'our' court, unless I'm mistaken, we need to have a watertight argument and proof to back it before proper pressure can be applied on them. We need to prove firstly that the bedrock and vegetation is vital for their existance, and determine why the won't occur in nearby regions where the geology and flora differs. Even their classification seems to be undecided, Wolverine has a valid point.
What were the findings when SARCA did their research in the area?
I believe that B. Albanica were found close to Grahamstown not so long ago, what conclusions can be drawn from this?
Exactly how bad is the situation?
Facts guys, where's the facts.
