learn all you can by owning and handeling pythons first. then you would need to apply to national parks and wildlife with references from other herpers who already have these snakes to say that you are competent with these snakes.

:lol: Exactly! Pay your license costs and whip out and purchase an Inland taipan! Dead easy in Vic! (and that's the scary part about it!)

I'm not one for over-regulating things but in all seriousness how ridiculous is that?? :?

My recommendation (my strong recommendation) is seek out a keeper who can give you some advice and tips. It'll be the best thing you can do in giving yourself any chance of avoiding a serious accident. You can become complacent later on when you think you are good enough :lol: (jokes) Seek out a keeper and some advice

Do a few courses with Jonno in Brissy, but some experience with Pythons would be best 1st if you haven't already.

Look up someone local and just pester him/her. Offer to clean for him in exchange for experience.
Dont be to cocky. Just take it in.
You would be surprised, a lot of folk are approachable.
