I get to semi-realise one of my possible career goals (by incorporating it into my other career goal!)
Next week's theme at the daycare where I'm a caregiver is Pets. To show the kids that some people keep more unusual pets than others, I'll be bringing my Ball Python in to show the threes (my kids) and fours and fives (a couple of my kids are in this class now).
I plan to tell them
-the meaning of 'cold blooded'
-the way he "tastes" smells
-his heat sensing
-shedding and the general ownership of scales as opposed to skin
-an exhibition of slithering

I might let them touch him briefly. It depends on how they react.

Any suggestions or additions to what I should tell them?

I'd rather not go into the whole "he crushes the crap out of a mouse then swallows it whole" thing. They're a little too young for it.
