    Excellent, :D


    I love to see the next generation have positive experiences early on.

    It looks like everyone had a great time and the chance to do a full day sounds like a great oppertunity. :gj: :banana: :banana: :banana:

    It might be worth your while to contact the companies who have made documentaries featuring the type of content would like to use and asking them if it would be possible for them to allow you to use it in your show - I would make sure to stress it is non-profit educational use only in the letter.

    The worst they can say is no after all.

    Nice work! Looks like you're a great ambassador for BP's and snakes in general. I liked that some parents showed up as well. Good to see them taking an interest in their kids education. At least you know they are reading what gets sent home :)

    I think too many adults pass on irrational phobias to their kids without realizing it (this does happen - scientific fact) so what you're doing breaks that chain and lets the kids see that there is really nothing to fear once you understand and take the time to learn about them.

    Again, thanks for your good work. I'm sure the snakes appreciate you! I know we in the community do.

    With having the snakes actually there, brought about 10.....some normals and different morphs. I had a 15 slide show on powerpoint talking about where they come from, where they live, what they eat, and then some pictures of morphs. Each group got to name one of the pythons I brought that I had yet to name.

    The following day the teachers showed them a presentation on powerpoint that we sent to them the day before with pictures of them and the snakes along with 5 or so questions reviewing what they learned.

    Where are they from?
    What do they eat?
    If you see a snake in the wild you should?
    etc etc etc...

    All and all the kids did really well and the teachers were amazed at the attention they had with it taking about 45 minutes and all lol.

    Good work man. These are the kind of things that inspire younger generations to join this hobby.
