In a recent court case in the Western Cape, a foreign national who was caught attempting to smuggle 150 poached scorpions out of the country, was sentenced to five years in prison plus a R28, 000 fine - largely money found in his possession and forfeited to the State. Let this be a lesson to those smuggling reptiles, scorpions, and succulents. The courts will not be lenient. The photograph is of Paul Moler and Theuns Eloff, both from the Kokerboom Biological Research Station near Springbok, sorting through confiscated scorpions.

We spent the day with the fantastic team from the @robberg_coastal_corridor. An enthusiastic group who really got stuck into the training — and everyone did brilliantly with the practical handling!

Always great to see people gaining confidence and learning how to safely manage snake encounters.

Today is International Snakebite Awareness Day. S

Today is International Snakebite Awareness Day.

Snakebite affects hundreds of thousands of people every year, with the greatest burden falling on rural and impoverished communities. In Africa alone, close to 20,000 people are estimated to die from snakebite each year, while many more are left with severe injuries, permanent disability and, in some cases, the loss of limbs.

The socio-economic impact can be devastating. For families already living with limited resources, a snakebite can mean not only a medical emergency, but also lost income, long-term healthcare costs and a lasting impact on their quality of life.

Snakebite has been recognised by the World Health Organization as a neglected tropical disease, and the global goal is to reduce snakebite deaths and disability by 50% by 2030.

Awareness and education are an important part of addressing this problem — knowing how to avoid snakebite, what to do in an emergency and where to seek appropriate medical treatment can make a real difference.

A huge thank you to all our ambassadors and followers who help us spread the message. Every time you share a post, pass on accurate information or help someone learn more about snakes and snakebite, you are helping to spread awareness and education.

We stock a wide range of snake tongs, from entry-level options through to our hugely popular JM and Elite range. We sell hundreds of tongs every month to both corporate clients and members of the public.
It’s encouraging to see how much snake awareness has grown, with more people choosing to safely catch and relocate snakes rather than kill them. Just as importantly, people are increasingly recognising the need to use the right equipment for the job – rather than resorting to braai tongs, noose sticks or, worse, trying to handle a snake with their hands.
You can order tongs directly from our online shop here: https://bit.ly/4hbur2M
