The backend of the system is developed using Python, with


Django serving as the primary framework for handling user
requests and processing model predictions. When a user
uploads an image for identification, the request is sent to the
backend, where the trained YOLOv8 model processes the
image and provides classification results. The system then
returns information about the identified reptile, including its
species, venomous status, and relevant ecological details.
Additionally, the backend integrates the Natural Language
Toolkit (NLTK) for text-based analysis, which enhances the
accuracy of classification by incorporating taxonomic
details. The results are stored in an SQLite3 database,
ensuring that users can retrieve past identifications and
conduct further analysis if needed (Figure 2) [20][21].
