Venomous Snake Relocation Course (Individuals)

After many requests, ERD has started to conduct Venomous Snake Relocation Courses for private individuals. Using the outline of our Industry based course, we have developed a curriculum that is perfect for those who wish to become a local snake catcher, or just want to learn more about our local venomous snakes.

Our staff are highly experienced, having worked at some of the most prestigious facilities in Australia, including places like Venom Supplies (Australia's largest collection of venomous snakes), Australia Zoo and Australian Reptile Park. We emphasise safety at every level, teach "no contact" handling methods and supply all our own custom made snake handling equipment.

This course is also a pre-requisite for inexperienced people who wish to partake in our Venomous Snake Husbandry Course.

We use a mixture of legally wild caught and captive bred venomous snakes, all of which have their venom delivery system in tact. Species used include Eastern Brown Snakes, Western Brown Snakes, Colletts Snakes, Mulga (King Brown) Snakes, Spotted Black Snakes, Red Belly Black Snakes, Inland Taipans, Coastal Taipans, Death Adders, Tiger Snakes and Yellow Faced Whip Snakes.

Upon successful completion of the course, participants are awarded two written references recommending that they be awarded their Damage Mitigation (snake catching) Permit.

The course is fully catered, with coffee, tea and bottled water available throughout the day, and a fresh lunch consisting of sandwiches, fruits, cake, soft drink and juice provided.
