Thank you for your request for information.

As you have requested information about snakes that excludes sea snakes, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is best placed to respond to your request, not DOC. MPI has confirmed that they have also received your request. Therefore, DOC will not be responding to your request, instead MPI will, under the OIA, in due course.

Ngā mihi,
