Word on the Snake Vine Podcast

Taking the HHISS out of the hysteria around snakes in Zambia!

Zambia is the forgotten country in Africa, so on this episode we give the spotlight to Ken Waterhouse from Helping Hands in Snake Safety, to give them the stage to let us know about the snake human conflict with in the country! With the lack of even estimated data and cheap antivenom Zambia is in need of help, and after Ken moved to the country he has done numerous actions under the HHISS banner to help combat the snake human conflict!

Also as we talk about Ken is risking his life as he is allergic to ALL snakes not just from being bitten but holding the snakes too!
