Modular refugia and no-dig funnel traps that make your fieldwork easier, and your projects more repeatable
Synake was founded to address the specific challenges of monitoring and protecting New Zealand's native herpetofauna.
Our Modular Lizard Refugia (MLR) systems provide standardised artificial retreats for skink and gecko populations. Tileable, field-configurable, and designed for consistent results across sites and seasons.
Our Ultralite funnel traps are purpose-built for backcountry deployment: no digging, no heavy carry, no compromises on survey integrity.
Both product lines are manufactured in New Zealand.
