Hi Gowri,
I am Honnur Basha from Bangalore. I am working for my PhD in Microbiology.
I am really fascinated by snakes and have keen interest in snake rescue. I have been watching your programmes sine my college days. I would like to brief a little about my interest in snakes and snake rescue. After my shifting to Bangalore, my interest has taken little serious turn and I have been catching snakes without any training. So far I have caught 3 spectacle cobras in my office campus and left them away from human habitat.
I am deeply interested in learning about snakes, getting proper training on snake catching and participating in snake conservation activities.
I want to know whether you can provide me the necessary training on these aspects and guide me in becoming a part of wonderful snake rescue programme.
Thank you
with regards

I read about the workshop to be conducted at Amboli between 26th to 28th October 2012. I reside at Belgaum and am an avid hobby photographer and wildlife enthusiast. We have a photographers group here in Belgaum called Belgaum Photographers Circle and we keep going on photoshoots to various locations in and around Belgaum. I am fascinated by snakes and am in awe of the King. I haven’t seen a lot of snakes in the wild (partly because I try and avoid them :D),but would love to watch, learn and shoot them in the wild.
I would like to know the details of the above mentioned Workshop.
What, if any, are the prerequisites for the workshop?
A friend and I are keen on learning about Herps and how to behave around them.
Also I would like to know if you have any other trips planned for a novice level in Agumbe.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
PS: have emailed info@rainforestecology.com as well.
Good to hear this, Anvith. We will get back to you on your personal id with the details requested.

Hello Gowrishankar,
I am interested in wildlife photography. I appreciate the photos taken about snakes in herpetology workshops. But to be honest personally I dont know why I am scared of snakes. I want to remove this fear from my mind. Is there any workshop in Feb – early March for herpetology so that i can become comfortable with snakes and take some good photographs. I am working outside India and will be on vacation during this period. Please suggest.
Regards,
Dr.Ravi Kumar

Hello Gowri Shankar sir,
I am a student in Sri Kumarans Childrens Home CBSE. I am in class 8th and my age is 13, I am interested in learning about snakes but as your workshops are for people who are 18 years and above I cannot attend any workshop other than the ones organised by my school.Is there anything that can be done as I am very keen on learning about snakes.
In the previous comment I forgot to mention that I live in Bangalore and the camps of our school are conducted by Mr Madhusudhan(Madhu).

Dear Mr. Gowrishankar,
I am 1st proud to have people like you in our nation. I keep watching your programs in NGC. Very enthu it s. I am Rishikesh.V residing in a beautiful village named Athur located in the river bank of paalaaru near Chengalpattu taluk of kanchipuram district of tamilnadu. I have an organic farm in the same village and encourage bio diversity to what extent I can. So far I ve rescued Cobras, Green Snakes, Rat Snakes, Russell Vipers, Water snakes, Striped Vipers. I voluntarily advertise among my village peoples to call me if they see snakes in their places and not to kill them. Till now I dnt have professional equipment’s to handle them but with my hand, sticks and pvc pipes etc I rescue. I am fond of wild lives and the eco system. I respect the nature as my mother. So far with my friends I ve conducted a cleaning session of the chaduragiri hills, parvathamalai, sada shiva kone like hills and their water bodies areas were we cleaned the plastic and other man put debris and kept few boards insisting the importance of the forests and not to pollute them.. I will do something to save her and to give my generation at least what I ve seen and enjoyed. I even plan to make my kids if I have, as a wild life biologists like you and few other experts. I request you to have a register of my contact details and intimate me if any camps conducted for the eco system. by 2013 October 14 & 15 I am likely to get married with a bio tech who is also interested in our eco system. So any schedules after the occasion will be helpful for me to attend the campaign. Hope I will get your blessings even to my marriage.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Gowri,
I am so amazed by the work you have been doing. It’s rather inspiring.
I am a nature lover, and I love trekking and hiking through forests, and there is a probability that I may come across a situation where I may need to handle a snake, or take first aid if I get bitten etc. I have never caught a snake, or even touched it, and often I am rather nervous when I see them in wild. So I wanted to know if I can take a course to gain confidence and knowledge on handling snakes, and be prepared to handle these encounters.

Hello Gowri sir,
How do we enrol for the Mysore workshop thats happening on may 31st and june 1st??
Mail sent to your email id with all the details.
Respected sir,
I’m Bhumika Kesanur and I am extremely interested in being a part of the May 31st – June 1st workshop. However, I am 17 years of age and I want to know if I will be allowed, since my mother (who is also very interested) will also be accompanying me.
Animals, reptiles specifically, have been my major interest and passion ever since I was four years old. I intend to be a wildlife veterinarian and I’m sure this will hold much fascination for me.
Please oblige and allow me to enroll.
Thank you.
Hello Bhumika,
Nice to see your interest. We will have the details of the workshop emailed to you.
Hi please send the Mysore camp amount

Hello sir,
I am interested to know more about snakes, not for the purpose of rescuing or handling, just to know more about them, i am pretty passionate, can i join that STORM-2 program?? if so can you provide me with the details.
Sure Devesh, you may join STORM B. Details have been mailed to your email id. Kindly check.
Details have been sent Devesh, kindly check. Let us know if you have not received them.
Dear Gowri Shankar,
I am sure you are doing great. 🙂
I have known you a little through your amazing work via NatGeo documentaries on King Cobra. Later I heard in great deals about you from my friend Vipul Ramanuj, with whom I have done some herping & birding trips to Rajasthan and Western Ghats of Goa. Hearing a lot about the magic of Agumbe, I always wanted to visit there. I have very less experience with snakes & other reptiles & amphibians and what place could be better than Agumbe to learn about them. 🙂
I have about 7 days in hand (10-17 Aug.14) which I am dying to spend in Agumbe. And if its under your expert guidance, that will be the best thing I can think of. I want to learn about everything there, more specifically about reptiles and amphibians, snakes topping the list.
So, can you please help me devising this trip? If there is no group activity happening during this time, it will be more exciting. I am so much looking forward to hear from you.
With regards,
Mohit Verma

Hello Mohit,

Hi Gowrishankar,
I am currently in Hyderabad, but i hail from a place called Sankrail in Howrah, West Bengal. The area we live in is still rural and during monsoons, we get one or two visits by our crawling friends. The people around us are still ignorant and if they get any information on a snake intrusion, their first attempt is to kill the snake.
However I think otherwise. It is we those who have intruded into the habitat.
This is the reason I want to learn the skill of catching a snake and release it unharmed.
Thank You

Dear Mr. Gowri Shankar,
My name samir and i am engineer, though i am an NRI i am disappointed to see snakes killed due to fear near are surroundings.
People are more likely to call the local snake killing expert then to let it crawl away.
I am interested to learn more about snakes and how to handle them , so i as i could explain our neighbors that it isn’t important to always kill them, and they can safely be relocated.
That is indeed a good initiative Samir. The STORM workshop is happening this weekend 24th and 25th of June,you may join if you are keen
Respected Gowri sir,
i would like join your workshop in MCBT on 12th and 13th may please let me know the procedure
