Safe rescue techniques

‘Snake wrangling’ has assumed a glamorized stage that leaves behind realities and ethics. And with more people wanting to try their hand at it, they not only risk their own lives but endanger the lives of snakes they are supposedly ‘rescuing’. Through this workshop we aim to train enthusiasts on scientific methods and safe techniques in snake rescue.
