Snake man, snakeman Melbourne Victoria Australia

The snake man is Raymond Hoser.

The web domain snakeman.pro fits his bill as for more than 30 years he’s been the world's best-known pro snake catcher and reptile scientist! In fact he's scientifically named more species, genera and tribes of snake than any other person alive in the last 100 years!

But Raymond Hoser isn’t just the snakeman.  He’s worn many hats, including as the world's leading conservation and wildlife authority and owner of Australia’s best known wildlife education company, Snakebusters.

Recently the trademarks office gave Hoser and his company the legally enforceable right to call themselves “Australia’s BEST reptiles”.

In summary that’s because Hoser and his company are of a standard above all others.

Hoser also invented the concept of kids reptile parties®.  Now the idea has been copied worldwide with wildlife parties on offer in nearly every major city on earth.

Hoser’s originality hasn’t just been in terms of science, education and entertainment.  In an action that was condemned as crazy in the beginning, Hoser was the first to publicly call for the legalisation of private ownership of reptiles and other wildlife across Australia.  In a jurisdiction that banned such activity and where the government-controlled media were dead against such ideas, Hoser paid the price.

He was demonized, attacked and even jailed.  However after a 20-year battle and several best-selling wildlife books, governments across Australia were forced to change the rules to allow private people the right to keep reptiles as pets. Unfortunately many of those in high places who fought against Hoser's push to legalise the right of people to keep reptiles as pets have borne grudges and they continue to attack Hoser at every opportunity.

Hoser has at times been similarly condemned in academic circles for reclassifying reptiles and at times naming new genera and species.  However the science of others eventually caught up with Hoser’s standard and now generic and species names first used by Hoser are in general usage.  Included here is the name for the world’s longest snake, Broghammerus reticulatus.  The name Broghammerus first being used by Hoser in 2004.

It’s fitting that the snakeman pro got naming rights on the world’s longest snake! The downside is that every time one of Hoser's enemies sees a so-called "Hoser name" in a book, paper or even online, they feel threatened and relaunch vicious campaigns aimed at trying to discredit the snakeman.

The snakeman’s company Snakebusters, does reptile shows across Australia, including for Melbourne parties, adult entertainment, childrens shows, kids displays, etc. Based in Victoria, the company travels everywhere.

Being the best at what they do, Snakebusters does all levels of education, ranging from accredited snake handling courses, university lectures, school incursions, corporate entertainment Melbourne, displays, snake shows for events, reptile show displays for shopping malls and even kinder incursions.

Snakebusters is alone in Australia with hands-on reptile education, that allows people to hold the animals.

Then in his spare time the snakeman pro is out there catching snakes, either in the bush for scientific research or rescuing snakes from conflict with people in their homes.

The Snake Man also operates in the USA, UK and elsewhere. In these places the services he offers are summarized on the Snake Man USA summary.
