Snakehub is a free database to provide detailed information about snakes of India in three languages.
It is free from ads and notifications so as you read about snakes without distracting your attention.
You will find the language switch on the top right corner of the app. Presently based on the availability of regional language’s committed translators we are providing Snakehub in 3 languages- English, Marathi and Malayalam.
Presently we have provided 183 species of snakes of India which will be regularly updated and more species will also be added. To see those changes, users do not have to update the app. Our scientific team has tried to furnish the best possible available photos of species and their key characters which in turn shall serve as an important tool for detailed and accurate learning. Our quest for more data and photographs will never end and we shall keep updating newer and better information whenever they are necessary.
To familiarize the users about the toxicity of various species, we have provided colour coding using 4 colours: green for non-venomous, yellow for mildly venomous, orange for venomous (usually non-fatal) and red for venomous (potentially fatal). Same colour coding is available for species placed in the gallery where thumbnails have been provided which can be scrolled. You will find a vertical streak on the right edge of thumbnails which will give an idea about the toxicity of species without opening their species pages.
The search and browsing area is enhanced now and users can reach their desired species in flexible ways like search by the genus, family, type, toxicity etc. Regional language’s fonts also give results but for this users need to correctly type spelling in regional language’s fonts.
Apart from the species pages, we have provided buttons to take you to other informative pages like About Snakes, Snake Identification, Snakebite, Snake Conservation, etc. to provide a fundamental idea about snakes. To help users we have furnished a simple list of hospitals capable of treating snakebites and also the names of local snake rescuers who can help in safely removing the snakes. Snake nerds will find the Snakes of India checklist in PDF version with some basic statistics. In Snake FAQs we have compiled some popular doubts and also provided their logical-scientific answers. We understand that doubts related to snakes will be much more than the ones we provided and hence we persuade our users to raise more doubts so that we can clarify them and keep on updating our knowledge about snakes.
We hope you will like our attempt to reach a wide range of audiences. As this app is in its infant stage, we are aware that it will be going through many required updates and changes. If you find any mistake or suggestion that can help us moulding it in a better way in future versions, please write to us at snakehub20@gmail.com
