Hi all,
I am looking into get a DWA for venomous snakes.
I know a lot about the ins and outs about what it takes to fulfill the DWA requirements.
But I'm stuck when it comes the any experience with the Highly venomous Snakes them selves. All I have is a FWC that I use a hooks on.
I've been given some really good advice about getting certain snakes that are as vicious but non venomous, and I am planning on getting a Tiger Rat Snake if i can find one. But that isn't a comparison to the real thing, it just good to practice with a beautiful snake.
So I woundered if anyone in the West Yorkshire area, close to Huddersfield would be able to mentor me.
I do know its a shot in the dark, but I thought I might as well ask.

Best regards

Mark really knows his stuff and can put almost anyone I know to shame with his venomous knowledge. I learned almost everything I know from him!
Let me know if you ever need a hand more than happy to pop up.

I can get you access to the most spectacular nasicornis in the country(ituri) also some excellent "normals" and some ugandan gaboons at a friends facility. You will need a camera.

This sounds really good, would anyone be able to help me too?

Cheers
Rob
