I spent all morning ringing people at the NT parks and wildlife trying to find out if there is anyone that does an acredited snake handling course up here in the NT. After ringing about 5 different people who kept giving me another number to call i finally got in touch with the guy who does the course that is recognised by NTPWS.
So i had a chat to him, he was really helpful and let me know he was holding a course this weekend out in Jabiru. Then he asked me why i wanted to do the course. Now there are several reasons why i want to do this course one is that my long term career aspirations would benefit from it, two i keep getting called by friends and staff at the school i work at to remove snakes that they have seen which i didn't want to tell him because i'm not sure that it is legal. But the reason that i gave him was the shortest one so that i didn't take up too much of his time, that reason was because i want to keep elapids some day in the future. Then he informed me that he can't do courses for any other reason than for people who do snake removals because NTPWS don't like people keeping elapids.
So basically i can't do this course.... which sucks real hard. Feels like i been kicked in face
