Hi everyone.
I did the course last Sunday down at Springfield Lakes.
It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot.
The first couple of hours was theory, identification etc, followed by a quick exam on that plus first aid.
We then got to practice using snake hooks on various live vens indoors.
After lunch we progressed to doing captures with hooks and hoop bags outside on the grass.
The final test was removing a brown snake from a trashed room. That involved moving chairs and items of clothing out of the room using two snake hooks until I found where it was hiding. Mine was coiled inside a shoe.
The snakes we dealt with included eastern browns, dugites, red belly's, spotted blacks, tigers, and mulga snakes.
Would have to say it was well worth what I paid and thanks to Johnno for taking the course.
I'm really looking forward to doing the vens husbandry course at a later date.
