Does anyone know of any snake catchers in the western sydney area in need of a trusty sidekick? And also wouldn't things be fairly quiet around the cooler months? WILL WORK FOR KNOWLEDGE lol

I currently have my ute for sale to pay off my credit card bill which kinda blew out when i discovered reptiles! So the wife told me i had to sell either the snakes and enclosures or my ute.... Anyone interested in a VS V8 Ute?

Good luck with your venture.

Also you could do a biology degree and then get a job as a Herpetologist/Ecologist and do fauna surveys. I think this is only really an option in the northern states, not sure about the rest. |

|  | Subscriber | | | | | If you're serious about it, I'm sure there's a few unis in NSW who offer science or bio-science degrees in which you could major in zoology, and then you could do research on snakes at a uni or maybe a zoo when you finished. |
