I was browsing around the internet and I ran into this, which is a home DNA analyzer for kids. Pretty wacky!
http://shopping.discovery.com/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10000&catalogId=10000&langId=-1&productId=53965&partnumber=691907
So I got this crazy idea wondering if I could use it to compare blood samples from snakes. Like compare how much Eryx colubrinus differs genetically across its range, see how different my Eryx jaculus really are, ect., ect.... Probably a dumb idea. It wouldn't be possible to extract DNA from a small blood sample with the junk in this kit, would it? I know extracting it from strawberries is pretty easy 'cause I read about it in the back of Scientific American.
