Are you snake smart? 🐍

Could you confidently identify the common snakes in your area?
Would you know what to do if you suddenly encountered one at home or on site?
Can you safely remove a snake from a building?
Do you know where it should be relocated?
And most importantly — would you know how to respond correctly in a snakebite emergency?

If you hesitated on any of these, our Snake Awareness, First Aid for Snakebite & Venomous Snake Handling Course is for you.
