SNAKE AND REPTILE KEEPING COURSES.
As one of the world's leading herpetologists (professional reptile botherer) and keepers, Raymond Hoser is in constant demand to lecture to people about snake keeping and the like.
Reptile keeping courses cover the basics of reptile care and along with the "Hoser Wildlife Collection CD-rom" will prepare novices with what they know to successfully keep most species of reptile.
The course covers the basics, including the following:
Obtaining reptile/s
Planning a collection
Essential requirements of all reptiles
Handling
Transporting
Housing
Feeding
Diseases
Breeding
Record keeping
Other matters of importance
These courses include the latest and state-of-the-art methods of reptile keeping and management to prepare participants for the highest levels of success in breeding or whatever they aim for in terms of reptile keeping.
For example, the CD-rom includes the most recent papers on the previously unknown Reovirus responsible for killing large numbers of captive snakes in Australia and the recently developed means of successful treatment of affected snakes.
Courses are tailored to suit the level of expertise of those involved and pricing also varies according to factors such as location, number of people attending, and so on.
At the conclusion of the course a statement of completion (certificate) is given to those who have attended.
