This one will be just for display. I have a ball python for the students to handle some if they want. I am just trying to find species easy to care for that students may or may not know anything about that they probably do not get to see very often. Herps are usually one of those things. Students can easily identify a snake, lizard, or a frog but they rarely get to see them. By keeping them in a classroom it gives them the opportunity to obsereve their behavior in a microenvironment ( the glass tank ).
