Thailand Snakes Published Research (Full Papers)

Thailand Snakes Published Research (Full Papers)

So many times I’ve been looking for technical information about snakes in Thailand and the search engine turns up an abstract for a published journal article that is only available to subscribers of the journal, or someone that wants to pay $30 or more to get a copy of it.

I think most snake enthusiasts don’t have the money to spend on buying access to publications which should be free for the world – so here are some free publications, full papers you can download and read without going broke.

I am always keen to add research about Thailand snakes as it is found. If you have a recommendation, please send me the link. If you know anyone that is looking for a reptile internship – someone very eager to learn more about the herpetofauna of Southern Thailand, send them to this page.
