“…Fitzgerald et al 1994;Mieres and Fitzgerald 2006;Cuéllar et al 2010Micucci et al 2006. Shine et al 1999Natusch et al 2016a;Natusch et al 2016bBrooks et al 2007Brooks et al 2008 Harvest monitoring can be carried out by hunters themselves. For example, in the USA, large numbers of western diamondback rattlesnakes are collected for a commercial trade in events called rattlesnake roundups.…”

“…By contrast, the ability to consistently examine large samples of snakes at single locations (as they are brought to major collection points) allows managers to build sizeable and robust datasets with which to make management decisions (Shine et al 1998;Natusch et al 2016b). The types of collection points at which data can be gathered include: Commercial trades in snakes share characteristics in common with essentially all wildlife trades.…”

Oil palm and biodiversity: a situation analysis by the IUCN Oil Palm Task Force

“…Each year, hundreds of thousands of tropical snakes are harvested from the wild to meet domestic and international demand for exotic leathers largely for the European fashion market ( Figure 18). Snake harvests have been ongoing in Southeast Asia for decades and research on some species suggests that such off-take can be sustainable (149,150). This is perhaps facilitated by the same traits that allow those snakes to thrive in oil palm plantations.…”
