Training in Sasolburg today with delegates from the agricultural sector, focusing on snake awareness, identification, and safety.

The snake pictured is a Rinkhals (Hemachatus haemachatus), a highly defensive venomous snake found in parts of southern Africa. Understanding how to identify and safely respond to snakes is an important part of working safely in agricultural environments, where encounters are more likely.

A valuable day of learning, sharing knowledge, and promoting safer practices in the agricultural sector.

A large banded Snouted Cobra (Naja annulifera). Ba

A large banded Snouted Cobra (Naja annulifera). Banded individuals are not that common and most of them are males.
This snake use to be called the Egyptian Cobra as it was a subspecies of the Egyptian Cobra (Naja haje annulifera) but was elevated to full species by Don Broadley in 1995 and the common name was changed to Snouted Cobra.
It is one of the largest cobras in Southern Africa, reaching a length of around 2,5 m. Though highly venomous it seldom accounts for bites on humans, but is often removed from fowl runs.

We are the leading training provider of Snake Awareness, First Aid for Snakebite, and Venomous Snake Handling courses in Africa, as well as the largest distributor of quality snake handling equipment on the continent.
