We'll see

. We've stuck to our rule of no more for over 3 years now although we've housed the odd corn or king snake for a short while before its been picked up. I've been at my mates house a few times in the past few months watching him work with his hots some of which I'm dieing to get my license and keep but for medical reasons I'm afraid it's never gonna happen now

I did look at a DWA (Dangerous Wild Animal) License a while back as I would love to work with any Dendroaspis or Bitis, but I wouldn't even consider it until I had researched it for about 6 months or longer.

It was hard enough to get a licence in N.Ireland but now the process is ridiculous. I know the council would give me a licence but I know in my own heart I'm not safe to work with them, which is a pity as I was just starting to not running away every time a viv was opened and actually learning to be of some use around them
