    Humane Society Day Camp

    After working with my local humane society for the last few years, they finally found out I do reptiles so this year, I was asked to come do presentations for their kids day camps they hold to teach about responsible reptile ownership. I've done this with my corns and beardie for years but this was the first time with the balls. To make a long story short, the balls stole the show and are the reason we went 30 minutes over our scheduled time (the kids didn't want me putting the snakes back!). Here are some pics. That's me with the ponytail trying not to hover too much...

    My big pastave boy on his first time out! He did wonderfully and didn't mind getting passed around.




    My albino girl. She was a little more shy but after telling the kids that she 'was a baby' and they had to move really slow, she warmed up to them.

    He is I have a feeling. He handled all four snakes I brought and was comfortable from the start with them (including my young corn who was a little jumpy). When we were done, he told me he was going to talk to his parents about getting a ball python because he absolutely fell in love with Reg. Didn't want to let him go.
