OMG disaster.

May I ask who you got insured through and what entailed that process ? How much liability do you carry and how much does it cost?

I used to do these educational presentations all the time back before I moved. I had a BALL doing them, esp. at elementary schools. It is amazing how little fear the young kids had, unlike the adults at that school. And how willing to learn they were. Also their capacity to love and feel empathy to all the creatures, not just the fluffy ones.

I had the funniest questions as well. One boy once asked me what would happen if I took off my shoe, socks and held my naked foot up to the snake. I had to admit I never tried that, LOL

I always tried to teach not to fear these animals, but to respect them. Esp. outdoors.

I also enjoyed those educational presentations when our herp club gave them at the local wildlife and nature parks. Met wonderful and open minded people.

Lately I've been thinking about offering such presentations again, esp. to kids and people willing to learn. But in this sue-happy place and sue-happy times I do worry some. Even if I do not bring dangerous animals, they are still animals. One could actually bite ME and someone could claim they are forever psychologically damaged or some nonsense like that .

At a educational presentation that was given by a local wildlife preservation group one of their guys was bitten (and chewed on, lol) by their gorgeous Indigo snake. He handled it well and hardly anyone noticed since his long sleeve kind of hid the snake chewing on his wrist. He just kept on walking around and talking, LOL.

I think before I would go back into all this I would like to get insured, just in case! Sad that this is how it is nowadays, but better safe then sorry.

If you check with the people who insure your car or house, they often have business insurance policies. Different levels and different prices. The rest of the details are privet. Do what you think you need. Mine cost less than 50 a month. Yes I know is another bill but I want to protect myself as well as share them. Is worth it for me. Now if only I can figure out a way to make money doing it? LOL. Just want to have fun.
