    Heh, in my elementary school (grades 1-2 grouped in one large classroom) we had a garter snake, a box turtle, 3 red eared sliders, and some tadpoles (which we eventually released back into the wild when metamorphosed). It's funny that I've never thought about it since, but it may explain my interest in herps.

    It's great that you're teaching your kids what snakes are really like before they learn to fear them out of ignorance. Good work!!!

    That's so awesome to hear, Gen! I love it when we can help the children learn to appreciate these animals. Too many adults are just too far gone to understand, even when they try, which is rare.

    I would like to see if I can bring in our snake to our kids' classes over the next few years. That'd be really neat. :)

    Nice work Gen :)
    I took about five of my herps to my neice and nephews school a few months ago. It was tonz of fun! We need to educate children about herps so one day they wont have such a negative rap ya know?

    Just a suggestion, make sure to bring hand sanitizer to pass around (im sure you did somthing to that effect). The last thing we need are some kids to come home with salmonila.

    Im glad things went well for ya! :)

    That is great to hear that everything went so well. We took Bob to my daughter's school, the last day of school and the kids loved it!
