We are pleased to offer a Level I Venomous Training and Certification Program at Amphibian Foundation in partnership with The Rattlesnake Conservancy. Our training courses are for anyone over 18 that is interested in expanding their knowledge and skillset to safely work with venomous reptiles. If you are a land manager, environmental consultant, first responder, zoo professional, herpetology enthusiast, photographer, military personnel, government worker or private citizen looking to learn how to safely handle and relocate venomous reptiles, this course is for you!This 2-day workshop is a comprehensive training to prepare yourself for working with venomous snakes in captivity or encountering them in the field safely. Using the techniques and protocols laid out by TRC, not a single person (TRC, AF staff or students) has ever been bitten by a venomous serpent.
This “hands off” training approach sets the standard for safety, husbandry, and protocol for working with venomous reptiles. Our Level 1 Program is the leading venomous training program in the United States and has been taught to hundreds of students. Tailing snakes is not a part of the curriculum and will not be taught in this workshop.
Topics covered in the course include:
-Hands on individual training, guided by one of our professional instructors.
-Handling methods for non-venomous and venomous snakes.
-Learn about the life history, toxinology, and ecology of native venomous reptiles.
-Emergency field care for envenomation.
-Methods of relocation.
This course consists of 2-days of intense training with expert instructors. The first day of the Level 1 Course involves a full day of classroom work, where students learn about native venomous snakes in their region, venom toxinology, snake bite management, captive management of venomous reptiles, and disease monitoring and management.
