MIKE PERRY

With a passion for snakes dating back to 1963, Mike Perry has become a leading figure in South Africa’s venom production and snake handling landscape. As the founder of our company, he has pioneered the milking of venomous snakes, starting at the young age of 10. Today, we stand as one of the largest venom producers in South Africa, supplying vital venom for antivenom manufacturing both locally and internationally.

Alongside our dedication to venom production, we offer comprehensive snake handling courses tailored for both public and business needs, catering to industries such as mining across Africa. Mike’s expertise extends beyond venomous snakes to encompass a wide array of reptiles, including lizards, crocodiles, and tortoises. Committed to conservation efforts, he actively participates in local herpetological associations, fostering collaboration between conservation authorities and amateur herpetologists. Through our work and advocacy, we strive to promote wildlife conservation and ensure the sustainable coexistence of humans and reptiles.
