It Is Great To Hear Positive Feedback

Working with Wildlife recently received an email from a course attendee that we would like to share with you -

"I have completed a few courses since I did yours last year and I must say keep up the good work. By far the course you offered was far more thorough and had a far better safety focus on it (may be because industry courses have a higher safety aspect to the course??). Most other courses have been given with an implied knowledge of snakes which can, in some cases, be a disadvantage."

It is great to get this type of feedback because safety (of both the attendees and the reptiles) play a huge part in all of Working with Wildlife's training courses and awareness sessions.

Check out our website, see the courses we have on offer and consider doing our Online Snake Awareness course, or perhaps have a read our e-Book - we are confident that you will gain a much better understanding of snakes and their behaviour after doing so.

Remember, you can always contact us if there is any aspect of snakes and snake awareness that interests you - we are always happy to discuss any aspect of this subject with anyone interested in the topic.

Snake Bites In Siraha District

I am just reading this article that discusses the number of people reportedly bitten by snakes in the Siraha district of Nepal - more than 300 per month!!!!

The article goes on to say that most victims tend to seek treatment from local shamans (a priest or "medicine man") and only go to hospitals as a last resort - often with fatal results.

Education and training is a part of the solution, but the question of how to provide it in an effective and ongoing manner has yet to be answered.
