Always good to refresh!

Snake bites are not common in Australia, but all should be treated as life-threatening. Snakes force venom out under pressure through fangs in the upper jaw....

UPDATE AND NEW TICKETS ADDED!

G’day folks!

Just a little update for you on the raffle.

Thanks to your support and generosity, we have sold all 100 tickets, so as of this post, we are releasing another 50. So if you missed your initial chance, get in quick!

We are humbled by how quickly you all jumped on board with this, so genuinely, thank you to all of you so far.

Armed For Life have filled the 2 sponsored camp spots, and in less than 24 hours, and that is just utterly amazing.

All of us together, we can make a difference.

We ARE making a difference.

As per the previous rules, max of 3 tickets per household to make it fair. $10 per ticket. Winner will be drawn via a random number generator on a Facebook live video at 8:30 Wednesday 16th July.

We may start the video earlier if I get home in time 😅. Apologies to our eastern states entrants if it is a bit late, but hopefully you can tune in!

Again, we have so much gratitude for everyone getting behind this.
You can guarantee that we will 100% be doing this again in the future.

It feels good to do good…

New numbers list in the comments below. Check the availability, and PM US with which numbers you would like. We will send you bank details and add your name once paid.

As an added bonus from our initial $100 starting balance, all reptile transfer fees I have received from Monday this week, until the time of the draw, will also be included in the final donation total.
If we offload this lot of 50 tickets, we may add another batch.

And of course, please like/ react/ share this post so we can keep spreading the word, and make an even bigger difference.

Thank you all so, so much. Genuinely ❤️🐍❤️

Because FB deleted the previous post 🤦🏽‍♀️

**ALL 100 TICKETS SOLD**
Thank you all so so much for the support.

Who wants another release of tickets?!?!

Raffle

YES, our raffle is still running. Albeit due to the Meta standards our post was removed.

What is it all about? In summary our very good mate Steven (a keeper of 20+ years) has been struggling with his mental health. He has made the tough decision to surrender his beloved reptiles to us.

As a lifelong sufferer of depression myself, I felt the need to do more than just sell these pets. As such we came up with the idea to RAFFLE A 🐍 (Aspidites ramsayi). With the hopes of generating enough money to support a local WA mental health initiative… Armed For Life

With your help, we hope to generate enough funds to support two young people to attend a mental health camp (who would otherwise be unable to afford to attend).

In addition to the 🐍, our friend Michael at .oz has offered a custom designed reptile-themed beanie. He is active mainly on Instagram, so make sure you check his work out and give him a follow 😉

How it will work:
For $10, you get to choose a number, with a maximum of 3 numbers per person, in the spirit of fairness.
We will release 100 numbers to begin with, with the initial goal of raising $1000. We are also including a starting balance of $100 from us. This initial total will fully fund 2 youths who may not be able to afford to attained a camp, to be able to go. This impact could be incredible.

If we get more people wanting to support and go in the running, we will release further numbers.
The competition will run from July 7th, with the winners being chosen by a random number generator, on a Facebook live video on July 16th (which happens to be WORLD SNAKE DAY). This will happen at around 8:30pm AWST.

We will include the list of numbers in the comments, so please view that to see which numbers are still available, and PM US with your choice. We will provide bank details, and can the assign your numbers.

Facebook/ Meta is in no way affiliated with this.

We apologise for the inconvenience. It all seemed to be running smoothly, and I did manage to say a lot more of what I wanted to put out there as to why we are doing this.
Hopefully you guys remember it haha
(If anyone got a screenshot of the post, please send it through!)
I just hope that someone didn’t actually report the post, when we are trying to do something good and give something back.

Thanks for your patience folks.
This WILL happen, one way or another, and will update the numbers list asap.

Your support already has truly been amazing, and more than what we had hoped 🐍❤️🐍
