OK. So let me get this straight...

Keep the snakes away from heads/faces. Wash hands before and after care. Got it.

That being said, do I need to be there to supervise the kids with the snakes? I tell them that they MUST tell me when they're taking the snakes out- and so far, they always have.

These snakes are still pretty small. If a snake bites one of them, I don't think my kids would care much. My 9-year old daughter even told me she wishes one would bite her so she would know how much it hurts. I can't imagine it hurts much. And from what I'm hearing, a snake over-taking one of the kids isn't a possibility?

My kids are used to walking up to me with big wolf spiders, big centipedes, assasin bugs, humongous slugs, and wild snakes in-hand. They're not afraid of much wildlife.
