Interesting Fact

In his spare time Daniel has been researching a report of a colony of non-native Aesculapian snakes in South Wales, the only non-native species of snake reported to have become established in parts of Britain. This research involves confirming their presence in the area and collecting DNA samples from local specimens to try and establish the origin of these animals.
