Ben joined the team in 2019 and is proving to be a very well respected trainer.

He has been a volunteer reptile remover for the past 10 years.

He has a background with the environment as he studied BSC in Environmental Biology and has spent 15 years working in the field for government departments and non profit environmental organisations as a field officer conducting a range of monitoring and conservation work for rare and threatened fauna and flora, feral predators and their control, environmental restoration, weed control and bushfire fuel load reduction.

Ben has a fascination and deep respect for snakes, as with all facets of our natural world.

It is Ben’s hope that the participants of the snake courses gain a greater understanding and respect for snakes and can help to spread this awareness to the larger community.
