22.01.2022 NORTH OF THE STATE ITS YOUR TURN Hi All if you watch this page and sometimes say to yourself I’d like to do this then this post is for you have you often wondered but where would I start??? Well I have the answer a basic venomous snake handling course is the first step for anyone wanting to not only catch and release problem snakes , but if you want to keep venomous snakes in captivity at home due to permit changes you now need to have accomplished at least a basic handli...ng course to receive endorsement and in turn your advanced permit but people do our course for many reasons some even do it to get over a phobia or just want to know more about snake behaviour, if you think yeah I’d love to do this Well you are in luck as isn Norton will be conducting a venomous handling course in the north of the state (86 cherry farm rd Underwood)on Saturday the 6th February from 9.30am till 4pm numbers are capped at 20 due to Covid and social distancing regulations and will fill fast so either reply with expression of interest in here or message Chris Daly or call Ian Norton direct 0407951437 to make a booking and secure your spot it’s a great day and you will have a ball See more

15.01.2022 This one hits close to home I love my snakes but your family pet is irreplaceable and the worst part about this situation is the dogs was protecting there yard Dogs lead with there nose and snakes lead with the mouth and when confronted there will always be a sad outcome Remember people with weather heating up snakes will not be active during a 30+ day when it’s far hot snakes become active of a night to eliminate the risks of snakes coming in place containers of water on the boundaries of your fences if you back on to bush place water on outside of your yard in the heat snakes are seeking water and a nice cool spot to retreat from the elements

01.01.2022 Hi to all people attending this Saturday’s handling course in Glenorchy weather looks perfect for the day , hot enough for the snakes to be active and keep you on your toes but not hot enough to be uncomfortable for you or the snakes , 9.30 start people and would appreciate it if everyone is on time or even a little early I’ll be there from about 9am so you are welcome to enjoy a coffee and relax before we begin , over the past few days I’ve managed to get some good size fresh and fiery Tigers these are the types of snake you will encounter in callouts so gives you an idea of what to expect looking forwards to a great day with this crew see you Saturday Cheers Justin and Chris any problems ring or message on 0419 106 777

01.01.2022 Well didn’t yesterday’s monster Tiger snake cause a stir and shocked and scared a few people as wellAs it was April fools day yesterday I thought I’d post up a pic of one of the huge king Cobra I got to play with in Oct 2019 in South East Asia , many did pick it but it certainly did catch quite a few people out , Thankyou for all your comments it’s great to see so many as it means that our msgs are getting out there Hope everyone is doing well in these crazy troubling t...imes and we would also like to remind everyone that there are a few snakes still getting about but things will start to quieten down soon as snakes find a nice spot to curl up over the winter brumation period , however its business as usual for us so if you need any snakes relocated give us a call we can helpAnd we will take steps to avoid any contact with homeowners and would like to ask all clients to pay via direct debit or we can forward on payment details as to avoid any contamination cash will not be accepted Cheers Justin K Reptile Rescue inc Tas See more
