Informative and well put together

As a landscaper with a curiosity for herpetology I've gotten a lot of use out of this app. Being able to Identify snakes on the go helps me stay safe and relocate the ones that aren't dangerous so my mowers don't kill them. I don't kill poisonous ones either I just avoid the ones I see which is very rare.

App is great but website was better

I really admire and use this app; however, the Davidson College Herpetology website had more photos and if I remember correctly, they were much easier to view. The app shows only portions of the photos and to see the entire photo it must be pulled down and held in order to be viewed. Also, there was more information displayed on the website. If the app had been as good as the website used to be, I would give it seven stars. BTW, the herpes part of Davidson website is nowhere to be found (there was a link to a Facebook page but I won’t go there any more).

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback NC Suzan! The app has just been updated and now you can view the photos in the app in a new image gallery. Simply tap on the image at the top of the snake page and it will open the gallery where you can zoom around to view every detail and swipe between the images. We have also removed the old dead links and replaced them with working links. Thanks for your support!

I love this app but its missing a snake

This app is amazing and I love it. Please add Storeria dekayi to the main page. It’s available under search but isn’t on the main page. There are 37 snake species in NC but you only show 36 on the menu. Add the brown snake so others can identify it. Other than that, this app is awesome! Thank you so much!

Thanks for your feedback HburgHokie2121! The app has just been updated and the missing snakes should be back in the main list and in search. Thanks for your support!
