I'm in the final year of my BSc in biological sciences at the uni. of Auckland (New Zealand). I'm hoping to do a masters next year or 2006, preferably working with snakes, varanids or crocs.

As New Zealand does not have any of these animals (wild or in captivity, due to extreme biosecurity laws) i am looking to study in the UK or South Africa.

Does anyone know a university in these countries that does research with snakes, varanids or crocs focused on ecophysiology, behaviour, ecology, etc.?
