Snakes at School

wow! that's pretty amazing coming from a teacher! who ever heard of a mammal with no bones???

Well wish us luck. Our little demonstration starts at 12:30 today, right after the kids have had lunch and a playtime (hopefully they will be calm, full and ready to sit still LOL).

Good Luck Jo! ;)

I am sure the kids will enjoy it! :carrot:

Good luck! I hope you hit a home run and are asked to do more! This IS the key, education of herps will help this hobby thrive and overcome the political warfare! Great job Jo!

Thanks for the well wishes all. Mike and I are really excited about this opportunity to spread the word about snakes both in captivity and in the wild. We think we'll have a lot of interest from the kids and likely the adults will be the "hard sells" LOL

Good luck!!! Can't wait to hear how it went..

Good Luck Jo. Make sure you take alot of pics, and post em here when you can.

When we got there, the assistant principal asked if we wouldn't mind doing the presentation for the whole first grade (about 100 kids and teachers). That was such a rewarding experience for us. And, to my amazement, every person in attendance at least touched a snake, and about 60% held one (those numbers include every teacher and the A. Principal holding one). Of course the one that all of the adults held was Monica's Pied female. We were supposed to do it again this year, but somehow the presentation never got set up and there is only one week of school left. I guess we will end up skipping one year. I guess we'll do it for third grade. Hear is a pic of Shelby's class after the presentation.

And Tim, that little boy just peering up at you with admiration is adorable!
