A good friend of ours is a 6th grade teacher in New York state (buffalo area) and he would like to take one of our '09 male ball pythons to use as a class pet. my son has done demonstrations with the snakes for this teacher on a couple of occassions, and this seems the natural progression. As some of you can imagine (or not..... notice I didn't say "can understand") the administration is asking a lot of questions and raising some concerns. My friend was wondering if I knew of any other teachers / schools that already have reptiles as class pets, and if they would be willing to provide information to him. Schools in New York would probably be best, but at this point we would be interested in insight from anyone
