Join a herp society, meet some keepers and get experience that way.

peterescue said:Just a couple of points about taking yourself off herping to catch vens.
1. its illegal in NSW without a permit
2. Dont go alone.
3. take necessary tools
a-bandages
b-mobile phone and international emergency no 112
c-someone else who is a good runner, they need to get to where the ambulance is going to turn up.
Remember, most snake bites are from people trying to either kill or catch a snake.
Snakehandler.com.au runs formal courses especially for elapids though it's in VIC, working holiday for yourself maybe.
