Default Lets be honest about mentors

Like it says lets be honest This past few weeks a lot has been said about mentors

Right apart from reading a few books who of you have actually had a mentor Sorry don't mean watching your m8 getting his wdb out from the Viv once a week to maintain the Viv. I mean with a few different species of snakes and handling and feeding.

If you can also remember who it was and was it a course how much was it.

Thanks.........Brian

I have 3 mentors - all free as they are people I know, between them they have around 40-50 years of venomous keeping experience and a huge range of snakes.

I try to listen to all peoples opinions as well as doing some research etc.... but theres only one person i truely trust ......
This is because of their no b/s approach to keeping, length of time, and professional manner they go about their job.

BUT for hots it would be 2 ppl id ask, both are rfuk members just so i could see both sides of the coin so to speak.
