I'd be really careful. The people who go out and successfully catch BPs year after year are the people who know how not to get injured or killed by other local animals. Savannah Monitors could give you an awful injury if you just shove your arm in a burrow. Nile Monitors will steal all your stuff. There are a number of venomous snakes including mambas, vipers, and cobras.
Yeah, BPs are awesome, and if I remember correctly Ghana has some of the largest BPs. However, with 150 species of reptiles locally, you really need someone who knows what they're doing. Someone who can differentiate between you getting a BP, and you losing a finger or needing antivenom
