Snakehandler has made a series of false statements, which need correcting!
1 - He wrote:
"We have never needed such animals and have never had a bite in a display or within our own collection which includes Pseudonaja textilis, Oxyuranus, and many other native Australian venomous snakes." is factually incorrect.
Fact is the company has had a number of serious potentially life-threatening bites, including Paul Fisher (staff) who was rushed to hospital for a Brown snake bite and Simon Watharow former director of the business who had to have a load of tiger snake anti-venom to survive a bite.
2- Fact is, company is in breach of sect 32 of the OH and S Act 2004 every time it displays snakes with venom glands intact in Victoria.
By law in Australia "Education about our venomous animals must be done safely" and with no risk to anyone.
All the best
