Herpetology

Herpetology was a scientific field that included the study of snakes. During the Imperial Period, Doctor Relan Smiff was awarded with the Herpetology Award by the Galactic Science Foundation. Sometime between around 0 ABY and 1 ABY,, and thus Relan Smiff's research on fanned rawls, takes place sometime between around 0 ABY and 1 ABY per the reasoning here. Smiff began to study and report that the Mid RimThe Essential Atlas planet Naboo's native fanned rawls had begun to grow larger. He reported sightings of giant fanned rawls in at least two locations and correctly believed that the snakes used the fans situated on the sides of their bodies to assist with swimming.
==Behind the scenes==
The field of herpetology was mentioned in "Star Wars Galaxies: Bestiary – Naboo," an article published on the official website for Sony Online Entertainment's 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided. In the real world, herpetology is a field of zoology centered around the study of amphibians and reptiles.
