Mike and I had offered to bring in a couple of snakes to meet our son Mikey's class. Well apparently there's growing interest in our little "snake show" and as of this morning Mikey's principal asked if the entire student body could participate (it's a small private christian school so not as many kids as you might think).
We're really excited about doing this next Wednesday and helping some kids and adults better understand snakes, their place as pets and their natural role in the wild. We're taking Emi the milksnake, Severus the boa constrictor, and from the ball pythons, Orlah - a mature female and Riordan - an 06 male and perhaps another BP. We're taking along some examples of sheds to show the kids and of course a bottle of hand sanitizer. Mikey's very excited as he will get to hold some snakes in front of the other kids (some don't believe him when he says we have 15 snakes at home LOL).
Wish us luck. This is our first major school presentation and we're hoping to have a lot of fun mixed in with some good solid information.
