Hi westbushviper,the lancaster show is that in the UK?thats where I live,not the best country for herping.I'm having a garage constructed at the moment and my leader(ooops my wife) has given me permission to use it for viv's.I dont have any hots as yet due to my kids only being 3&5yrs old,toooo risky.Sooner or later I'll apply for a liecence.The book in my opinion is worth buying,Ive just ordered another book from the same auther,but not yet published"Reptiles of east Africa"coloured photo's,explaining venom/treatment,location etc.
regards
Rabies
