Talking In Search of an Expert!

Hello
I'm looking for an expert or a person well educated on venomous snake biology. I run a little exotic animal forum and I am looking for someone to teach an online class in a way. Starting with the basic biology and moving on to the advanced covering as much detail and explantion as possible. Along with answering questions myself and others might have.
I know the person that is willing to take on this task will have alot of time wrapped up in preparation of a project like this but the information will remain on the board for the duration. I'm not looking for short explantion or someone to tell people to google or buy the book. I'm hoping to bring in someone that will educate the new and the old members of the venomous hobby. I know alot of the older members get tired of sharing the info after so many years and prefer people to learn on their own but this is my way of bring the info to people so they can do just that.

If you are willing to take on this task you will have your own section on the forum and full control of what you choose to teach. I can also garantee you will have a large number of people who will follow your section.
I hear the older guys say newcomers to the hobby need to know more about the snakes and what they're getting into here's a chance for someone to educate myself and others. This would be a seminar focused on venomous snakes. It could also carry over into some basic diagnosis and treatment for different illneses/parasites snakes encounter.
Well I hope some of you look at this as an oppertunity rather than a headach. If your interested please feel free to contact me through Email or Phone

Thanks

I'm in no way qualified to help, but it sounds like a good idea to me. I hope you find someone.

I'm pretty much throwing in the towel on this idea. My post have been removed from a few forums and nothing but negative from the higher ups.

I guess we can all act like experts. All you have to do is tell people to google and buy books. Don't have to bother trying to teach or pass on what you know. Then when questioned tell them you don't have time cause your so busy and they should learn they way you did from reading books never had any outside help. Follow this and you can be on on-line expert to.

Sorry I'm really frustrated at the moment.

I have heard so many times about new comers to the hobby not knowing enough. Yet they have the opportunity to educate right now and no one is stepping up. The information would be eternal and passed on. Anyways take google and amazon away and they wouldn't have much to say at all. I tried to get someone but looks like it's not gonna happen sorry folks.

Eric G,

That really does seem a shame as i thought it was a great idea, & also helps to prevent mistakes that may be harmful to the snakes too.
Although i don`t keep hots, i am very interested in learning as much about them as i can, just in case i decided to do so at a much later date, plus i absolutely love them.

Come on peeps, there must be someone out there willing to help
