  Michelle S. asked:

  Hi There, are there any professional and proficient snake catchers in the area of Riversdale, Western Cape? If so, may I please have their cell or phone numbers? My hubby is terrified of snakes, and is threatening that anything larger than a sluggeater/tabakrollertje is toast! So before it happens, I need someone to be on standby, especially as this is Cape Cobra, Boomslang and puffadder country. We live on a farm just below the mountains about 10k's outside the vlilage.

  Hey Michelle. The pinned post on this group links to a PDF containing a list of snake rescuers. You can also check on https://snakeremoval.co.za/. Looks like the guys closest to you would be in Mossel Bay or Montagu, though. Do you maybe know of anyone in your area who would be interested in doing a Snake Awareness & Handling course? Both African Snakebite Institute (http://www.africansnakebiteinstitute.com) and the Cape Reptile Institute have ones coming up in Cape Town at the end of February. For ASI's course details you can email Ashley on admin@africansnakebiteinstitute.com. For CRI's details you can email Marcel on witbergm@absamail.co.za.

  Willem W. asked:

  Pocket Guide Hi everyone. Can someone recommend a small, concise pocket guide for SA snakes? We live in Zululand, KZN, on a green belt, and occasionally find snakes in the garden. We always "broom & bucket" them and put them back in the bush, but would of course like to know what they are. Our local bookstore only has thock, hard-cover detailed books, but I am after a small pocket guide that can go in the car with me. Can someone suggest a good guide, that I can order online? Many thanks Willem

  I'm looking for someone who can give a basic snake ID and safety course to a team of geologists (Some sort of accreditation will be an advantage). PM me if you can help.

  Wayne D. asked:

  Does anyone perhaps know what types of venemous snakes one finds in Kalbaskraal area (WC) how you can prevent them from entering your property and where to find anti venom? Recently moved to a small holding and while cleaning up the property found a couple small Cale Cobra's. Have a 4year old son so safety is a concern.

  

  Johan M. replied:

  There is a list of snake memovers on our website. Forget about keeping antivenom - in the event of a snakebite get the victim to the nearest hospital. www.africansnakebiteinstitute.com
