Hi norsmia.I always use people to help find snakes for me. I lived on a farm as a kid.All the workers kept an eye out for snake for me.
In the army. I was groundsman of an officers hotel, on a game farm, I had three tool sheds. One I used to house the snakes, I decided to keep.The rest I would relocate near a water hole about 5 Km from the hotel.
When I finished the Army, I had a friend, who was a fireman, He gave my number, to the emergency phone opperator, I would collect "problem snakes" and often get paid for it. As a matter of fact I've lived out side SA for eight years and my mom still gets 3 or 4 calls for snakes every summer.

I'm now on a mission, to collect all the legal TW rat snake species that do well in captivity, and a few other species that grow quite large, are legal, and fairly easy to keep
I'll make a new thread soon, listing all the rat snakes I'm after and see what feedback I get.
