Saving Snakes

A Bio-Ken conservation initiative to save snakes from being killed.

Snakes are a vital part of our eco-system helping to keep vermin under control and reducing disease and crop destruction.

Bio-Ken offers a free 'remove a snake' service from the Watamu region.

We are looking to expand this conservation effort through education, awareness and sponsorship.
