    Cleopatra with python picture?
    So next week I am bringing one of my pythons to my daughter's preschool for a little show and tell. I'm brainstorming a list of facts I can tell them, and I thought it would be cool to talk about the Royal Python name origination and show them a picture of Cleopatra with a python on her wrist. The thing is, I CAN'T FIND ONE!
    So if you happen to know of a suitable picture, please link it to me! By suitable I mean, not too much nudity and preferably the correct type of snake (I found plenty of pictures of her topless with an asp for example).

    I'm not having any luck finding a PG or even a PG13 picture like you're looking for O.O I'll keep trying though.

    Most likely kids that young will not know who cleopatra was. Also as far as cleopatra and snakes, she is much more famous bc she was supposedly bit and killed by an asp. I would tell them theyre called Ball Pythons and explain (and maybe get your snake to demonstrate) how they ball up with their head in the middle. Kids that age will understand it alot better and be able to relate it to something like a turtle or a hedgehog. Other animals do the same thing as a defense mechanism. Im not trying to shoot you down but for that age group i think alot of that would go way over their heads.

    We take snakes to my daughters class every year. The kids are usually interested in what they eat, and what they feel like, how big will they get, things like that. I honestly don't think they will care much about Cleopatra either. They are going to want to gather around you and touch them. Make sure you bring hand sanitizer, and go over your rules before you even start. We will have the kids line up, and one at a time, come pet. No head, no tail, no grabbing, pet with the scales, no fast movements, etc. It's such a fun experience, I love doing it. Good luck, and have fun! :)
