NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUND UP � 12 AUG 2016

Sunbeam snakes are one of Singapore�s native and non-venomous species of snakes. Needless to say, they are beautiful with their iridescent scales. Their name comes from their many colours shown by their scales under sunlight. There are several interesting facts about this species, such as their burrowing habit, head shape and more.

The photo on the right shows a sunbeam snake who was found inside a toilet. Thanks to the family for calling us and patiently waiting until we arrived.

The individual on the left is another sunbeam snake who was found by our landscaping personnel when cutting grass. After spotting the snake, he requested us to move the snake to safety for a while, as the grass-cutter�s machine could hurt the snake. We were quite happy to sight this species on our own grounds at ACRES.

Please remember to call our 24-hr wildlife rescue hotline 9783 7782 for assistance if you see any wild animal in distress.

Have a great weekend everyone!
