Hello, folks... very cool site you have here!
I'm a Special Ed. instructor, 4th-6th graders. One of our teachers has brought a bearded dragon and tank into the classroom. It has solicited a very positive response not only from our exceptional students, but from the whole school student body and staff overall.
I had a friend long ago who had a ball and a smallish boa of some kind. I was very intrigued and learned enough about these wonderful animals that I felt safe handling them. Sadly, the ball died after a dramatic and sad episode with a live mouse and a malfunctioning heater. After that I moved away. I've never been in a position to own one (until now), but I also never forgot the experience and thrill of these animals. Looking forward to the future!
We are in the process of organizing a school size assembly (500+ students) with 3 local reptile guys who will bring a collection of reptiles (10 of which will be snakes) to our school. I have been reassured by the staff that this will be a very popular assembly (no kidding... that's why I suggested it :P).
I'll keep you all posted.
Anyway - looking forward to chatting!
