The ASI Venomous Snake Handling Bootcamp

24 November 2024

Emily attended the ASI Venomous Snake Handling Bootcamp hosted at the Cradle Moon Lakeside Lodge, Muldersdrift

She had this to say: "It was an incredibly informative and enjoyable experience. The call-out scenarios were a highlight, making the day both fun and practical. The course coordinators and trainers were excellent, providing clear guidance and expert advice. I gained valuable skills in handling various venomous snakes, using specialized equipment, and managing different scenarios. This training has enhanced my ability to conduct faunal surveys, particularly in areas where snakes may be encountered, giving me an additional level of confidence and expertise."
