In the Amazon rainforest, many parts of the forest become partially flooded during the rainy season. What effect does a flooded or wet forest have on the snake species living there, and how does it affect the behaviour of these snakes? Is there any study on this subject?

The PDF follows and discuss the snake's species richness and abundance in relation to rainfall season (dry or rainy):
This is the rare study I found treating closely enough the topic of your question but yet incomplete. Such study is extremely scarce.

Piet,
That is a very rare topic and an issue even where i work in the rainforests of southwest Cameroon.
I have attached a paper from India.I hope it helps somehow.
Goodluck.
