They are both supervised while holding/petting the snakes. They are gentle and loving with them. And they wash up or use anti-bacterial hand liquid afterwards. And no more kissing, even though they beg!
Just so everyone knows this Ryan isn't me. OT:Your KSB doesn't nip?

Thanks! Mr. Snake will be going to Felix's nursery school tomorrow for more of the same. But the ages will be 3-5 yrs. And we might take him to a 8-10 yr old school science club in the spring. Once Morty (KSB) is bigger and more settled, he might be joining the presentations or doing his own tour.

No! :banana: He is only 6 weeks old or so; might be too early to judge his true personality yet. But he is a total sweetie so far. Hopefully, he's young enough that we can try to help him to stay that way.
I've heard some are nippy and some are not - just like some people. :rolleye2:
