Deadly dormmate: a case study on Bungarus candidus living among a student dormitory with implications for human safety

<p>Movement and observation data gained through radio-telemetry of a single Malayan krait (<em>Bungarus candidus</em>) among a suburban landscape (a university dormitory complex) in NE Thailand. Included: movement spatial data .csv file and photographic evidence of foraging observations, a predation events, and conflicts with humans,&nbsp;camera trap footage, and snakebite incident data .csv file.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>B.candidus_observation_data.csv file column headings:</p> <p>folderID: The Zenodo folder ID containing the photographic evidence of events.</p> <p>obvdate: Date of observation (mm/dd/yyyy)</p> <p>obvtime: Time of observation (24hr)</p> <p>easting_utm: UTM easting (UTM Zone 48N; Datum WGS84)</p> <p>northing_utm: UTM northing&nbsp;(UTM Zone 48N; Datum WGS84)</p> <p>gps_accuracy: Accuracy of GPS location (m)</p> <p>notes: Comments and details on events/observations</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>BUCA28_movement_data.csv file column headings:</p> <p>Datetime: Date and time when the snake was located (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm)</p> <p>Easting: UTM easting (UTM Zone 48N; Datum WGS84)</p> <p>Northing: UTM northing&nbsp;(UTM Zone 48N; Datum WGS84)</p> <p>Behavior: Either the animal&rsquo;s behavior observed during the location check (sheltering, foraging, or feeding) or type of other significant locations (capture or release sites)</p> <p>Habitat_Type: Land-use type where the snake was located</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Snakebite_incident_data_SUT_Dormitories.csv file column headings:</p> <p>Date: Date the snakebite occurred was located (mm/dd/yyyy)</p> <p>Time: Time (ICT)&nbsp;the snakebite occurred (hh:mm)</p> <p>Location: Brief location description where the incident occurred at Suranaree University of Technology</p> <p>Mesohabitat Description: Brief description of the scene where the bite occurred</p> <p>&nbsp;Snake species confirmed?: if responsible species known (Yes) or unknown (No)</p> <p>Snake Species: Identified responsible snake species (if known)</p> <p>If not confirmed, suspected species responsible: Species most likely to be responsible based on known snake species at SUT, the time the bite occurred,&nbsp;and bite symptoms.</p> <p>Bite Location: Where on the body the victim was bitten</p> <p>Envenomation Symptoms: Brief description of bite symptoms (note: none were severe/dangerous cases)</p> <p>Fang Puncture Marks?: Brief description of whether fang puncture marks were visible, and if so, how many punctures</p> <p>Notes and Photos: Brief further notes on how the bite occurred, and in the case of the bite by C. maculiceps, the corresponding&nbsp;Zenodo folder ID containing the photographic evidence (of the snake and dormitory bite location [during daylight]).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
