Same day for course and braai sounds good to me. I wouldn't be able to make both.

Sorry for being lazy BV, but without looking for other postings, how much is the course?

No problem starting earlier, my babies have me up at 5am anyway!

If I give you my cell number will you call me to make sure that I am on the road at that time already!? I need to get up early to get there, but I don't have the luxury of a juvenile alarm! :lol:

Going to be epic! Can't wait for it!

Count me in!
One question, is it possible just to do the handling course?

marc yes you can just do the handling course but I would rather advise if finances are a problem rather do the snake bite part. The handling is nice but without the snake bite background you could be in serious trouble.

If it's a week before, that will be just after payday which is perfect. :D

Okay time will be 08h30 at the New Germany nature reserve. I can only fly in that morning but have sent down some snakes and equipment ahead of time. Contact Heidi on info@reptileexpo.co.za regarding deposits etc. The balances we will sort out on the day. The braai will kick off at about 3 or 4 that afternoon although anybody is welcome to the braai and they can start even if we have not finished yet.

Hope to see the people who are concerned about their health there all eager to learn new things. If you have hook sticks or protective glasses please bring them along.
