When next you visit Springbok in the Northern Cape

When next you visit Springbok in the Northern Cape, pop into the Springbok Cafe for an old-fashioned diner experience. They have an excellent range of natural history books as well as unique books on the history of the region. And, of course, my snake books.

Another great day of corporate on-site training!
Delegates work with a few different species during the practical side of our course. In this photo, the delegate is catching a Rinkhals - you'll notice he's wearing a face shield for eye protection.

Should you be interested in having on-site training conducted for your team, drop us a mail on courses@asiorg.co.za

Magestic Cape Cobra. This snake varies in colour

Magestic Cape Cobra.

This snake varies in colour from near black to dark or light brown, beige, yellow or speckled while juveniles have a dark band on the throat. The Cape Cobra is easily confused with the Mole Snake and the Black Spitting Cobra.

It is by far our most dangerous cobra and with the Black Mamba it accounts for the majority of fatal snake bites in South Africa. The Cape Cobra may stand its ground if threatened and is quick to form a hood and bite.

It occurs largely in the Cape provinces but extends into the Free State, Northwest, southern Botswana and Namibia. The venom is potently neurotoxic causing progressive weakness and may affect breathing rapidly. Victims need urgent hospitalisation and in a severe bite antivenom is essential.

Memories. More than 12 years ago we started doing

Memories. More than 12 years ago we started doing Snake Awareness and Venomous Snake Handling courses at Butterfly World (now Exotic Animal World) in Klapmuts. It has been an amazing journey for the ASI team and our sincere thanks to Esther van der Westhuizen and her able team for always makings things easy for us and helping out where required. We have had thousands of people through our courses and in recent years added kids courses. It has been a wonderful journey and I have no doubt that we have changed attitudes and saved the lives of many snakes.
