Leaf-Nosed Snake Behavioral Ecology

During a semester abroad with the School for International Training in Madagascar, I conducted an observational field study on the Madagascar leaf-nosed snake, Langaha madagascariensis. This study recorded previously undocumented aspects of its ecology including habitat preference, foraging strategies, and diet. The resulting article is published in the journal Herpetological Conservation and Biology [PDF].
