Reptiles

Elite Ecology are able to survey all 6 native reptile species in the United Kingdom at very competitive prices.

The requirement for survey is due to the legal protection afforded to them on the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), making it illegal to deliberately injure, kill, capture or disturb any reptiles. They are also afforded protection under the Natural Environment Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006, with local authorities and other public bodies being required to legally consider their conservation. We are well trained in the methodologies and mitigation regarding reptiles.
