There are 27 snake species known in Victoria. This class project will introduce students to Bioinformatics while providing them with an understanding of the biodiversity and environmental requirements of a fascinating part of Australia's wildlife.

Use the information in the Bioinformatics Data Base to prepare a report on the snakes of your district. This can be done as an individual student project or as a class project with each student researching one snake.

Our Society was formed in 1909 with a commitment to preserve and protect our unique Australian wildlife in all its forms. We are one of the oldest conservation societies in Australia and probably one of the oldest in the world.

Welcome to arafurae.net, the site where I dump my notes in an attempt to learn about, understand, document and hopefully help to educate others as I go, (be it about the snake or my own stupidity pertaining to), on the care and husbandry of Arochordus arafurae, or, for those like me that trip over technical names designed to keep the uninformed blissfully confused, the Arafura Filesnake. Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, all details and information mentioned by me on these pages are of my own learning and experience, therefore, I welcome any and all input from those with more knowledge of this snake, to correct me where needed.

Carettochelys.com is a site dedicated to the accurate and up to date information on Australasian Turtles of the families Chelidae and Carettochelydidae.

The Australian Freshwater Turtles Conservation and Research Association is a Non-Profit Organisation. Our Mission is to protect all Australian freshwater turtles and to prevent extinction by ensuring sustainable populations can and do exist in the wild.
