It’s finally here! Introducing our new online Kids’ Snake Awareness course!

We’ve been inundated with requests for kids’ courses from all parts of Southern Africa, and so we have developed a fun and in-depth online course!
The course covers topics like how snakes work, snake senses, behaviour, defences, venom and a whole lot more! It also includes downloadable activities for the kids.

There’s no doubt that by educating the next generation, we will take great steps in snake awareness and conservation.

The course price is R250.00 and kids have lifetime access to the content and can work through it at their own pace. You can sign up online here: https://bit.ly/3DzSjxk

During our practical training sessions, we teach delegates the use of both snake tubes, and snake buckets for safely containing snakes.

It's important delegates get experince with both options and learn the capabilites of each.

For on-site training, at no stage do delegates make physical contact with snakes. Making physical contact, by hooking the snake and grabbing it by the tail, dramatically increases the chances of a bite to the handler, and goes against the health and safety protocols of most corporate sites.
Safety is obviously the most important aspect when removing venomous snakes from site, and with the correct equipment and safe techniques, there's no need to touch the snake by hand.

Antivenom availability – crisis or not? Souther

Antivenom availability – crisis or not?

Southern Africa has well over 170 different kinds of snakes and our fair share of highly venomous snakes. While most of them are not medically important, snakes like the Black Mamba, Cape Cobra, Mozambique Spitting Cobra and Puff Adder, to mention but a few, are highly venomous and a bite from one of these snakes could be life-threatening.
The only effective treatment for a serious snakebite is antivenom, however not all snakebite victims require antivenom – in fact only about one out of ten snakebite victims that are hospitalised need and receive antivenom. This is because of the level of envenomation. You could easily get a bite from a Mozambique Spitting Cobra with no symptoms whatsoever. We refer to such bites as dry bites – the snake bit without injecting venom. Or you may have mild symptoms – a bit of swelling and no worse than that. Or, of course, one can receive a serious bite with serious consequences. For this reason, doctors in hospitals treat symptoms and not snakebites.
Antivenom for snakebites has been around for more than 100 years and in South Africa the South African Vaccine Producers, a division of our National Health Laboratories, produce antivenom for spiders, scorpions and snakes. For snake envenomation we have a monovalent Boomslang antivenom as well as a polyvalent antivenom that is made for the venom of ten snake species, including the mambas, cobras, Rinkhals, Puff Adder and Gaboon Adder.
The South African Vaccine Producers has run into production problems since Covid and currently have no stock of antivenom. They are busy with a revamp of their facilities and hope to have antivenom available in April 2025.
With these shortages, several overseas companies have started importing various antivenoms into South Africa and as these drugs are not registered in South Africa, they are brought in under Section 21 of SAPHRA regulations. For any doctor to obtain or use the imported antivenoms, they need to do quite a bit of paperwork, and one can safely say the imported antivenoms are not that freely available. This also applies to veterinarians.
