Conflict between snakes and people in urban areas is a problem Windhoek shares with many cities around the world. Surrounded by farm and conservation land, this capital city of Namibia experiences regular snake occurrence in and around houses, gardens and industrial sites. This study used snake removal data from the city’s designated snake removal institution, Snakes of Namibia, in order to record numbers and diversity of snakes occurring in the city during the summer of 2015-2016, and identify possible reasons for conflicts.
