We have been asked a dozen times if we provide category c license reference letters….

And I’m glad to report that now we do!

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST.

Thanks to Gareth and Mel for being the first participants.

What is this for?!

This is for reptile keepers wanting to get more experience and the subsequent DBCA REQUIRED reference letter by a Category C dealer/keeper for keeping venomous snakes on the advanced license.

This is a hands on training session spanning a few hours, and designed for me to observe your venomous snake handling skills.
We have a checklist of tasks and information that must be completed to a competent level, and only then will I be happy to provide a reference letter.

INCLUDED TRAINING—


Snake Bite First Aid

Legalities & License Conditions

Tools

Transportation

Handling

As mentioned, this is HANDS ON. This involves being required to physically restrain a venomous snake, as this is a necessary and integral part of keeping venomous snakes. This will be shown and taught in the safest and most practical way I know, minimising as much risk as possible.

So why us?

I have been keeping pet reptiles since 2010, relocating venomous snakes for 11 years, and keeping them as pets for almost 10 years.
I will never claim to be an expert - I am not.
I am, however, quite experienced.

This reference letter training is not something I will take lightly. There will be no letters without completing this, even if we are already mates.
Venomous snakes have an inherent risk, and I will not sign off on someone I think does not have the skills to keep them as pets safely.

There is a cost to this, and this has been discussed with a few different keepers to come up with a fee that is fair to me for my time (and reference letter) and training, and to make sure you - the keeper - are positive keeping venomous snakes is something you really want to do.
However, if either I or you feel you are not quite ready, and require further training, there will be no additional cost. It’s 1 fee until you are ready to apply.

Our cost will be $300 per person.
This includes hours of education and training as well as answering any other questions you may have. It does include going over husbandry requirements as well.
As I mentioned, if either of us feel you need to come back, you will NOT be required to pay again.

FINALLY — doing this training and having a reference letter, does NOT GUARANTEE DBCA will sign off on your license application. This is at their discretion, and this letter is only one part of their requirements of said application.
It is HIGHLY recommended you also do a venomous snake handling course, as that will go a long way to assist your application.

Again, we offer ZERO GUARANTEES that your license will be approved by dbca. We cannot do that.

If this course is something you would like to do, please pm the page email me at [email protected]

Someone is getting bigger by the day!
Currently in shed, so all going well (if timing is right), babies should be here in the next week or so 😱

Keeping bobtails outside is a super rewarding and easy way to keep them. Having them in as natural an environment as possible ensures they get all the uv and heat requirements they need, as they are found all throughout Perth (and a good chunk of southern Australia). It also provides them with a natural breeding cycle, and we have bred them every single year in our outdoor pits.

Create an escape proof area, make some hide boxes or things they can crawl through/ under, have some plants or natural grass for cover, a nice big water dish that always has water on it and a way for them to climb out if they go in it, throw leftover fruits/ veggies in there a few times a week or feed them dog food/ mince, and you’re guaranteed to have healthy and happy mini dinosaurs.

Even being outdoors, they can become exceptionally tame, and this little one has fast become one of my favourites. Every time I head outside to feed, w**d or top up the water, she comes walking towards me for a scratch or a treat.

There is something pretty incredible about having a lizard like this, recognise and react to you in this way, and it makes me feel a bit special 🥰

We genuinely appreciate the amazing feedback we receive from all our displays. Most people know that working with children and animals can be challenging and at times this can be true, but we do our absolute best to ensure all of our incursions are enjoyable for kids of all capabilities.

Proven breeding pair of carpets available.
Unknown age. Unknown locality.

Both handle ok, but have not been interacted with for the last couple of months due to the previous owners health situation, so could use some love.

Decent sized snakes.

Would prefer to sell together.
PM for price.

A recent segment I did on The Couch TV Perth, talking about pet reptiles.

Starting at minute 36, but support local and watch the whole thing!
They do some great work on this show.

Was awesome to be able to get on there and showcase some of the cooler pets to get!

Excuse the really average video. It’s hard to film with just 1 chubby hand!

4th lot of eggs for the season, and another different species.
First time Pygmy mum. Laid 7 eggs. Massive clutch for a Pygmy, especially a first time breeder!
3 slugs but 4 healthy lookers.

All placed into the incubator for reliable incubating, and we can now feed the girl so she can gain some weight back.

No waiting lists. No EOI.

3rd clutch for the season, and that’s 3 different species.

First time Woma mum and dad (yet to be named actually 🤔).

9 perfect looking eggs. Should make some damn pretty babies 😍

Nice surprise to come home to today.
11 ackie eggs - a first for us!
6 healthy pearls, 4 slugs, and 1 weird squishy one. Not sure what that’s about!
We can’t claim that we bred these necessarily, as we have only had the pair for around a month, but still, baby ackies!

Mum looking a bit skinny, so will need to feed her up a bit to get the weight back on.

But damn these will be some stunning baby godzillas! 😍

First eggs of the season are from these guys, and my main target for this season.

Boiga irregularis - Brown Tree Snake.

They bred last year, but the girl only dropped 2 eggs. 1 slug and the other directly on a heat tile, so it got cooked 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bigger clutch this year, however - and I have no idea how this happened - all 5 were stuck to the upper inside of the hide. Not even on the ground!! 😳

I may have missed them for a day, and they do look a little dry. Popped into the incubator anyway.

Fingers crossed they rehydrate and are ok, but I’m not holding my breath unfortunately.
The big male is 100% on pairings, having mates with the first female we had years ago (eggs didn’t take, female died a couple weeks later 😢), and this girl the last 2 years.

Time to fatten Betty Boiga up for next year, and let Barry Boiga do his thing again.
Hopefully with better egg laying position!

Praying that the eggs are still ok 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Another fun afternoon spent at Bunnings Harrisdale today.
