Another two corporate training sessions wrapped up

Another two corporate training sessions wrapped up today!

It’s always rewarding to leave a training session knowing delegates have gained a deeper appreciation and understanding of snakes — and that future removals will be handled safely and responsibly.

Our 2025 training season is almost at an end — and 2026 is already shaping up to be exceptionally busy!

Back in the 90s. Thursday. Crawford Coulson after a very close encounter with a Black Mamba. It was a severe bite and Crawford pulled through without antivenom. David Beyers (40 years old) was not so fortunate and died within hours.

One of the biggest gaps in natural history books w

One of the biggest gaps in natural history books was the lack of a book on scorpions of South Afica. After a great deal of prompting Dr Ian Engelbrecht eventually produced the definitive book on our scorpions. With over 100 species, excellent photographs and comprehensive distribution maps accompanied by well-researched text, we now have a book on scorpions that every naturalist should have. It sells for R450.00. Available from leading bookstores and ASI. Please email Caylen on info@asiorg.co.za for further details.
