The objective of this demonstration is to provide resource managers information on the importance of studying herpetofauna and specifically to provide methods for radio-transmitter implantation in snakes.

Methods used in this demonstration are described in Martin-Bashore (1997); Martin and Bashore (1993); and Reinert and Cundall (1982).

We believe that the methods described herein allow the greatest degree of safety to both snakes and handlers

For those who do not intend to do the work themselves, this information is useful for preparing scopes of work
