We assess the potential of habitats for reptiles.

We conduct follow up surveys:

• Observational surveys.

• Searches of ‘natural’ refugia.

• Checks of artificial refugia.

• Pitfall traps (rarely used in the UK).

Mitigation may include:

• Habitat protection or creation.

• Sensitive site clearance.

• Catching and translocation.

In the UK, licences are needed to affect smooth snakes and sand lizards.
