    Presentation Points

    Hello, I am in 4-H (Horse Project) and we are required to present at least at county level. I have the opportunity to inform my fellow club members about the wonders of Boa Constrictors. I'm wondering what all I should cover? Any tips or groupings are appreciated. So far I have, not in order:

    • Scientific Group/Name
    • Size and longevity
    • Regions found
    • Habitat requirements
    • Temperament
    • Localities/Morphs
    • Clutch/litter Size
    ~My Zoo~
    Boas:
    1.0 Pastel Dream MonsterTail Het Kahl (Snakerdoodle)
    0.1 Ghost Het Kahl (Dahlia)
    0.1 DRMB High Red (Matilda)

    Colubrids:

    0.1 Pyromelana (Vesta)

    Mammals:

    0.1 Quarter Pony (Peaches)
    1.0 Lippitt Morgan (Kenai)
    1.0 Chi/Pom (Bolt)
    1.0 Chesapeake Bay Retriever (Günther)

    When I do presentations at the local schools I bring in a list of myths (e.g. your snake is sizing you up to eat you) and debunk them.

    Presentation Points

    Maybe touch on the feeding / drinking requirements and schedule plus what they'd eat in the wild and how they'd catch it ... also mention that they're climbers and something on the shedding cycle .

    You're welcome to print off or use pics of my 7' male Snow Boa for a PowerPoint - he's about 7 years old ..


    PS
    I work in a high school and I'd guess about once a month someone will utter that immortal nonsense in the staff room - about the snake sizing up its owner ..

    Too late to edit ..

    Maybe explain about that weird looking breathing tube that's visible when they're swallowing a rodent ...

    Thanks .. Many LOVE it but some HATE it ..

    Some dislike it simply due to it being a morph others because it's a hybrid ( King X Milk ) ..
