Mitigation translocation is an often used strategy that consists of 'rescuing' animals from human settlements. However, it results in high mortality rates and other negative effects in vipers. This study aims to unravel the effects of translocation in Bothrops asper, a species responsible for more than 50% of snakebites in Central America. Our study aims to assess the efficacy of translocation in managing human-snake conflict while maintaining the snakes’ welfare.
