Dusty- I was a bit unclear. I'm not sure I accept that I can't let the kids be with the snakes unsupervised (WITH RULES, like...)

Anyway, good comments by all. One of the reasons why the kids have to let me know when they're getting the snakes is so that I can make sure that they get back into their cage safely and securely. I just don't think I need to be in the room with them every minute.

The more I learn about these creatures, the more fascinated I am by them.
