Beware of decapitated snakes
A chef was killed by a poisonous snake twenty minutes after he chopped off the snake’s head.
From the Mirror:
A police spokesman said: “It is a highly unusual case but it appears to be just an accident. He prepared the snake himself and was just unlucky.
“There was nothing that could be done to save the man. Only the anti-venom could have helped but this was not given in time. It was just a tragic accident.”
The snake was being diced up to be made into snake soup, which is a delicacy in the area and a much sought after dish in high-end restaurants. China has seen a rising demand for snake products, not only in restaurants but also for use in traditional medicine.

Saving the Atlantic Forest would cost less than ‘Titanic’
By Herp News
Want to save the world’s most imperiled biodiversity hotspot? You just need a down payment of $198 million. While that may sound like a lot, it’s actually less than it cost to make the film, Titanic. A new study published today in Science finds that paying private landowners to protect the Atlantic Forest would cost Brazil just 6.5 percent of what it currently spends ever year on agricultural subsidies.

Endangered tortoises to be sterilized
How do you save endangered tortoises? Sterilization.
From the Elko Daily Free Press:
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service officials say they have to curb the backyard breeding of desert tortoises because the growing population of unwanted pet tortoises diverts resources from efforts to preserve the species in the wild.
Mike Senn, assistant field supervisor for the Fish &Wildlife Service in Nevada, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that it can be “a really difficult issue” to explain to people. He said simply breeding more tortoises won’t save the species if not enough is done to improve and protect natural habitat and address threats in the wild.
Captive tortoises threaten native populations because they can carry diseases with them when they escape or are released illegally in the desert.

The Gran Canal: will Nicaragua’s big bet create prosperity or environmental ruin?

A hundred years ago, the Panama Canal reshaped global geography. Now a new project, spearheaded by a media-shy Chinese millionaire, wants to build a 278-kilometer canal through Nicaragua.

Frankie Tortoise Tails – Guide to Big (Dear Waffles…)
Dear Waffles, I’ve noticed how big you got over the summer. For sulcata tortoises, it happens really fast. As I am an expert on BIG I thought I would share some things about getting closer to that 100 pound marker.
You’re gonna need a bigger blanket.
Indoors starts looking a bit small
Indoors gets a little hazardous (for the things indoors, you’ll be fine).
Your mom is gonna get tired of picking up these
You’ll end up outside more often but you’ll love it!
The buffet is all you can eat!
Things you used to eat become toys.
You’ll start doing this a lot.
Mom will need help getting you in and out of the car.
You’ll need a bigger outdoor house.
This is big but 75% is for storing hay and carrots.
It’s important to learn that a glass is solid. If you insist you can go right through them but you will need to wear a safety hat….so will everyone on the other side.
You got to get yourself a skateboard.
Sloth can’t move outside with you but it’s okay, there’s things to snuggle with.
Even big you’ll make all kinds a new friends. If you can’t dance just go freestyle. Nobody will mind.
Best of all, you’ll make lifelong friends who love you.
And that famous hiney shot gets more and more awesome.
Love, Frankie
PS Godspeed my friend Michele Renea Wales who picked up her angel wings today. We love you! …read more
