I am planning to go for this…a great way to familiarize oneself with creatures that one rather hopes not to come into contact with!

Here are the particulars, for People for Animals, a group that is doing great work for conservation:

If the mention of snakes makes you shudder…maybe a snack instead of a snake at 2.30 instead! ;-)
