Yay so, yesterday Kelly and I went off to the West Australian Reptile Park which is always for me an absolute pleasure.
We met up with Gary Davies (WestAussie) and had a great chat with him while playing with the carpet pythons and stimmy's.
We asked Gary about snake catching and got into a conversation about the thread that recently appeared of a "snake catcher" appearing on You Tube and treating the snake in what seemed to be a fairly inhumane manner.
Gary got out a wild caught dugite, tiger snake and king brown in turn and showed us how an experienced handler does it.
It was awe-inspiring and I fell in love with the little dugite. Some kids had gathered round and Gary explained how this was his job and just as you don't mess with electricity unless you're an electrician, it's best to let the experienced snake catchers handle the snakes.
Thanks for a great day Gary and West Australian Reptile Park!
Will post some pics later of Kelly and Tsi's adventures!!!
Other highlights include Kelly's baby!!!!.......kangaroo
