Im doing my BSc Animal Behaviour and Welfare Degree and since im in my final year (at last!!!) i have to do a dissertation (research project). I'd love to do some research into reptiles, particularly BD's or tortoises, but i am very very stuck for a topic! I figured who best to brainstorm with than a group of reptile enthusiasts! Is there anything you've always wanted to do an experiment into or a theory you've always wanted to test out?
The only restrictions i have are that it has to be a study that directly relates to animal behaviour or their welfare. I can't do anything invasive such as taking blood samples and don't have any access to a laboratory beyond basics - ie. i can't do any parasite checking, looking into hormone levels etc. I also have a very short time frame of less than 2 months to actually physically carry the study out so long-term studies are also out. I live in the UK so observing reptiles in the natural habitat are pretty difficult too lol!
Thanks in advance
