sooooo, im hoping when im 18, to get a house share with 2 mates, who also are very passionate about their reptiles, (beardies, geckos, boas, corns, royals, tortoises. between us)
so, in 2/3 years i would like to get a diamondback, they are maginficent, and i love to watch them =]
also, i need a D.W.A to work at the local rep store due to the amount of venomous.
any ways of going about geting one are appreciated =]
If I were you I would try keeping some of the more aggressive snakes while you are waiting. Hots are for the VERY experienced keepers, so get the experience while you can.
Get your local reptile store to mentor you in the meantime. You will benefit from someone elses experience and also, being able to demonstrate a considerable period of time being mentored will go a long way when you do put in your application. Get experince with fast, defensive snakes, read up on your chosen species', talk to other hot keepers and above all, listen and learn.
at the mo we have a rainbow boa, asian rat, carolina corn, royal.
just babies really XDXD
although my freinds asian rat has taken turn for the worst, and has gone really aggressive, and also has a passionate HAT for the tetleys tea monkey :whistling2:
and im not sure if it would be suitable to learn with anything too aggressive as my brother is one and just started walking, unless anyone can tell me also how to use my viv locks? cant get the buggers to work XD
No, the owner of the pet shop should have a PSL (pet shop liesence) this covers them shop.... but you dont actually need a lisence to handle the snakes
