And your point being?......There are people out there that drive cars to mate ...but we all know they shouldnt have a license or a car .....iv,e been bitten buy a red belly because i breed them so i rest my case EXPERTS:lol:
How does everyone know he has no experience? How do you know he didnt want you guys to wish him luck cause the snake is in the wall and it is a lot trickier to catch one in the wall then under a couch?
Guy from work has asked me to give him a hand to try and catch the red belly he has in his wall at home:shock:first aid is kitted up ready for action wish me luck people i think im gunna need it this timeLOL AND YES IT WILL BE RETURN BACK TO THE WILD
No but being a licensed catcher does give me the hands up of having done alot of catch and relocate ..and being able to take a quick decisive action if needed ..where a person that is not familair with wild species ,might not be so quick to act ...The only difference I see with the person that started this thread and some people who replied is the Original poster publicly admitted what he was doing while others keep it on the hush
Sorry to say but being a licensed snake remover doesn't automatically make your techniques any better nor give you a better knowledge of elapids.

Sorry I didn't know that licenses were accounted to skill attribute or knowledge.
And I think I would rather a person which could identify a tiger snake
Maybe some places hand out the licenses all too easy but I had to not only do a course but show that I was capable of catching and bagging the snakes before I was given the ok to take my training back to FAWNA. In most cases, getting a license requires your effort to complete the training, not just turning up and accepting the piece of paper.
RBB has had a lot more experience than I have. I think I could accept her judgement anyday.
elapid ..if it is what I think your reffering too ..it was in another forum and that was a joke ,hence the smiley emots with their tongues hanging out ...Except if the snake happened to be a tiger snake?:lol:

anyway if you really wanted to have a POKE WITH A STICK at me ..ya shouldve just asked
..as I admit to making ID mistakes and actually have done so on here ..tis only a matter of going back through the threads ..let me help ya out ..as a matter of fact the other day ..went to a call ..was told by the people that it was a RBBS hanging around their fish pond ...got there, sure enough, there is a fat black snake in a crevis of their rock feature wall ...so presuming the facts ,of it being around a pond ,and they said they saw it ..and I got a look at it ,even though it was in a dark crevis,and I couldnt see it well , lighting wasnt actually the best ..BUT as I got to catch the snake and hook it out ..it wasnt a RBBS ..it was a very very very dark EB fat and around 4 feet long ..so I made another ID mistake(for a brief moment) ..that should keep you going untill next time I post one now
And I still believe what I have posted about licensed catchers ..we may not be 100% all the time .but coming into regular catches and situations ,our strategy is better and overall safety ,for both ourselves and the snake s involved ..and you dont always have experience when you first get your permit ,but after a few years of catching ,you certainly get to know how a wild snake can react in situations ...
And YOU have never made an ID mistake ? is that what your saying...?(never claimed to be 100% perfect buddy)So how can you say your better equipped to deal with situations when you can't make an I.D that a lot of 15 year old keepers can?
I'm not saying that you need to be 100% but I see that you do try to carry yourself as an expert on these and other forums and sometimes your information is just plain wrong.
To say that doing a course will make you a great remover/handler is crap.. the best in the hobby learned from hands on experience
And YOU have never made an ID mistake ? is that what your saying...?(never claimed to be 100% perfect buddy)
the most important thing about catching wether its a python or a ven ..is to treat that animal with RESPECT that they all deserve...The problem with half of these cowboys is they lack that simple but crucial point ..RESPECT ..it is what saves you and keeps you out of hospital ... If what your saying is anyone that thinks they can catch a ven go for it ..cause ya gotta learn somewhere....thats just bloody ridiculous ..laws are in place wether they believe it or not ..and learning from your mistakes is what keeps you moving ahead ..so trying to shame me on this forum about making ID mistakes as a catcher ..doesnt worry me ..what does is people that think by watching a you tube vid catching a snake ..makes them know how to do and just go ahead ..is the worrying part ..
