Our two hour Snake safety training sessions allow the attendees to get up close to the most venomous snakes in Australia and other reptiles in complete safety using our snake pit, staff can see the behaviour of tiger snakes, brown snakes red belly blacks and more while learning about identification and how to react to such animals.

We also allow staff a hands on part of the course with non-venomous snakes to help overcome fears, this is very important when dealing with potentially dangerous snakes while in the field or in confined spaces.
