Waiver or no waiver?

So I posted this blog on another site:
My boyfriend's aunt knows about all my critters, and she is the cub scout "leader" for this area. She asked if we would come to their March or April meeting and bring some of my reptiles by and talk about them to the kids. I, of course, accepted, and am really excited! My boyfriend will be there 100% to help me out, which is great. I think I'm going to type up a "liability/permission slip" for the parents to sign. They will only be able to handle a select few, using hand sanitizer each time, but I've already decided who I want to bring

-My 4 1/2 foot Kahl strain albino boa Humphrey (kids will not handle him, may be able to "pet" while I handle him.

-My 2010 950 gram normal male Julius (kids will be allowed to handle him, he's puppy dog tame)

-I'm thinking about bringing one of my morphs, just so the kids can see the difference in the patterns/colors, haven't decided which one I want to bring yet.

-My A.Metallica tarantula (kids will not be able to handle...don't want her getting squished!)

-My leopard gecko Capri (kids may be able to handle her)

-My red foot tortoise Scarlett (kids will be able to handle her)

-My bearded dragon Gimpy (kids may not be able to handle him, he's still young and pretty flighty)

-I'm thinking about bringing Lucky, my rat, and saving him for last to be sure none of the predators smell him lol.

-Also considering bringing my crested gecko, she's still a baby and the kids will not be allowed to handle her, but at least they can see her and learn about them.

I'm really excited! I think the kids will really love to see all the cool animals that they don't get to see every day. I want to talk about some common myths, and general misconceptions. I'd also like to print up a map and label where each one comes from. I'm going to try my best not to ramble, but I'm pretty good with talking to kids since I constantly have to explain things in "child speak" to my 5 year old son. I'll be sure to have someone take photos, and am really looking forward to the Q&A portion lol.

Now, a few people had commented saying congrats, etc etc, but that they don't think I should have a waiver because it will give the parents the idea that I'm bringing "dangerous" animals around their kids. However, in my defense, anything with a mouth can bite, and the last thing I wanted is for one of my normally harmless animals tagging a kid and having the mother freak out and sue the crap out of me. I see it as covering my 6 in case some freak accident happens. Granted, the kids won't have access to all my animals. And all the animals I am bringing are normally very docile and friendly, however, like I said, anything with a mouth can bite. I feel that if I was bringing puppies and one bit a kid it wouldn't be a big deal, but because I have snakes it would turn into a huge debacle if, God forbid, something happened. I really don't think any of mine will, as they are also brought up around my 5 year old son, however I don't think I'd like to take that chance without some sort of "permission form" I guess. So...what do you think? Waiver, or or waiver?
