    waiver hands down. I did this and the only way they were able to do it was if the parents signed a waiver. Non the less it was an awesome experience

    I actually cannot talk with the boy scouts anymore. The leader looked more into it and it's now required that anyone doing this sort of thing have insurance, and I don't yet.

    Wavier - In our state what you'd be doing is "education" and the rules are you "must be in control of the animal at all times." In the herp community here, we've jokingly taken that to me the bitey end is always still in the hands of, or at least facing us. Control the bitey end and you control the animal and it has held up wether it be leopards or leopard geckos. So I'd keep the animals on your hands and allow petting only.

    Another thing to consider is the number of animals you are showing and petting. Our local Zoo in School program might take a half dozen or so, but then only the last one or two will be open for petting. It flows better then getting kids up and down, standing and seated over and over again. (Could be the former teacher in me, even college kids can't be trusted to take their seats again after you let them leave! Haha!)

    Uuuugh my long reply didn't get posted...
    Brief summary:

    As an Assistant ScoutMaster, I'd say do waivers. You'll sleep better at night.


    And Excellent Idea! :gj:
