well completed an indepth venomous workshop over the weekend , at the end of the day ended up handling a puff adder, a cape cobra, a snouted cobra, mozumbican spitting cobra, a boomslang.

advanced course might even get the chance at a black mamba

really enjoyed the experience and will be helping out at the reptile park a couple weekends every month where by i can handle and grow experience.

if i was ever to keep a hot a boom slang would be it

That sounds amazing! I'd love to do a course like that-where was it and how much did it cost you?
Thanks,
Ben

sahunk, no it was near hartibeespoort dam in gauteng . yes shiva a wonderfull experience and one i wont soon forget

I was gonna ask if you were in another country because I couldnt imagine anywhere in the UK letting you do that, I wouldnt of thought they would be able to get the insurance over here, to run proper courses

over here the keeping of hots is legal, obviously you would need a permit for indiginous, i will get some pics up tomorrow, photobucket acting up at the moment

yeh you can keep them here but its licenced, but I dont think people would be able to get permission to run a weekend handling course in the UK, I might be wrong though, it would be good if they did
