They will have their usual set up with a marquee of scaly, furry and slimy friends as well as the snake pit, where the fun really happens.
“I have the world’s rarest python, the Oenpelli python, so he’ll be on display and a scrub python as well, and probably some frogs,” Glenn said.
“On top of that. I will have the Snake Safe Victoria pit set up where I’ll be displaying some of the most venomous snakes in Australia, including the inland Taipan.”
With 25 years of experience, he’s an expert in all things snake handling.
For those who aren’t the biggest fan of snakes, Snake Safe has plenty more to offer you.
“We’ll have a little marsupial as well, they’re closely related believe it or not,” he said.
“They look like a mouse, but they’re closely related to the Tasmanian devil.
“We will be hosting photo opportunities for people where you can sit down and hold a crocodile or get a photo with a dingo, a possum or a large python, and then every hour or so we will be doing the venomous snake show.”
The venomous snake show has something for attendees there for fun and those there to learn.
“It’s a combination of everything,” Glenn said.
“It’s highly entertaining with a little bit of comedy involved, but on top of that, we will be learning about snakes as well as about their behaviours.
“We do a bit of a display on different snake behaviour and what to look out for, how to react around snakes, and we also do a little bit of our first aid training on snakebite.”
He said the thing that kept him in his job was his desire to change opinions on snakes.
“I could be doing a show in front of 1000 people and if one person walks away with a different attitude about snakes, I’ve done my job,” he said.
