Very true and valid. I'm only fielding answers to a question that has been in my mind for a while. I have no idea whatsoever what costs are involved. If I were in a similar situation, I'd regard snake collecting expeditions as holidays - holidays that appear (IMO) to have favourable financial benefits.

I think it's a bit of the grass is always green syndrome. If I were in W.A., I'd be out catching snakes right now
