    Every snake is going to respond differently to that kind of environment. If you haven't exposed her to it before, I suggest starting by not letting anyone touch her. If and ONLY if, she doesn't seem stressed by the environment, you can work up to letting one kid at a time pet her. NEVER let them just "run to" her and stick their hands in her face.

    Ball pythons in general are pretty chill snakes, however you can never know what an animal will do if it feels threatened (most likely your snake would ball up, but anything could happen). You will just have to lay down the law with the kids first. The snake will only come out if you are quiet, calm seated, and if anyone gets loud or starts being obnoxious then the snake will get put away, etc. When I brought some snakes into my kids' school they had to have a certificate from a vet stating that they had a calm temperment, so you might want to check into whether or not the school you'd be going to has that requirement or not. I hope you end up bringing her in and that the kids love her!

    Alot of noise wont really bother your snake bc they cant hear most of it anyways.

    It depends on your snake. I would say out of my 5bps i would be comfortable with doing that with 2, maybe 3 of them. Both of my cinnis are nervous, and the girl can be moody sometimes so i would probably not bring either of them. You really have to know your snakes. Im not sure how long youve had your bp for and i dont know your snake so Im going to abstain from saying yes or no.
