Awesome, thanks for the excellent advice! I'm hoping that hunting for meat and skins won't be too prevalent in the national parks (I'm assuming it's illegal, but of course that won't stop poachers). I'm unfamiliar with most of the genus names you spit out but I'll do my research before I go. I'll try to bring back some pics of water monitors, and maybe even catch one if I'm lucky!

Also, are most of the venemous species either kraits, cobras, or vipers? Are most of them easy to differentiate from non-venemous species? I'm guessing that there a bunch of krait mimics out there. I've heard there are coral snakes as well... *sigh* guess I have a lot of memorizing to do. I just hope I find some pythons or some other obviously non-venemous species.

Thanks again!
