Snake handling course

I can put you in touch with a herp who lives in Hout Bay and who removes the summer nuisance snakes from peoples backyards, homes,etc. Nothing beats hands on training.
 
Strange, I was thinking of the same thing. An on-the-spot-identification skill would also be very helpful.

I had the misfortune of killing a herald snake at our carport last month when I mistook it for a nightadder that didn't want to leave.

On Thursday I caught a spotted bush snake in our garden, fortunately this time I recognized the blue scales and relocated the dude to a bush area up the street.

I used to love handling snakes, but have had fairly limited experience with snakes in the wild. Almost stepped on a rhombic nightadder once, which was not so cool. Got some nice pics of him though.

Anyway , gdiza - I'm glad to see you're keen on this mate!
 
I know the VWS will probably offer this to it's members down the line, but I like to try and get things done.

The First Aid Level 3 course they sent us on is AWESOME!

We did snake bites (basics of it) today and would like to do more / learn more regarding snakes.
 
Venomous snake patterns:

red on black - poison lack, (still dont know why they say this, since snakes have venom, not poison.)
red on yellow - deadly fellow.

Perfect example is comparing the mexican milksnake to the coral snake.
 
I offer a snake handling course but it's only for hot females :D

The majority of people incorrectly use the term poison when they should be using venom. But then they will use the term antivenom correctly though?
