"Dewsbury CRAFTS cc"
was originally formed to breed indigenous reptiles. Legislation passed in 2002
restricted permits and necessitated a broadening of the company's direction.
I have been a member of ERHA (East Rand Herpetological Association) since
1997, and have served on the committee as assistant editor for the past 5 years,
assistant permit controller for 1 year and permit controller for 2 years.
Unfortunately,
whilst some of the tortoises were too badly injured or sick to recover, the
remainder were homed with caring people, once rehabilitation was complete.
In order to broaden the company’s base, I
presented educational talks to schools and similar institutions, in order that
people might understand a little more about reptiles. Unfortunately,
because of circumstances beyond my control I no longer do this sort of
work.
However,
despite the setback, we began providing more advanced training as is
discussed under our course section. We are also undertaking various research
projects, mainly relating to tortoises and captive husbandry.
Where
possible, I provide information to individuals and assist with the supply or
sourcing of information for school projects.
