Sex, drugs, etc.. is a whole other topic and that will come up in a few years, and its best to let your child know they can talk to you about that stuff, but those thing have nothing to do with Santa... LMFAO!!

And as for the snake stockings, i think it would be best to get a large stocking and call it the "Snake Room Stocking", and fill it with some supplies you already need for the snake room (Spray bottles, tongs, temp gun, hides, etc)...

Good Luck

How old are you again Brandon. Raising humans is not as easy as just saying "Hey you know you can talk to me about sex, drugs, etc.." When your sub-adult encounters sex, and drug related things and wants to talk to someone they need to look to you as someone who they trust to tell them the truth, to be frank and honest. If they think you are going to sugar coat the topic and say "sex and drugs are bad, um kay" then they are going to talk to someone else. Part of having a sub-adult that trust you is being open and honest with the juvenile when it asks questions. Now your 8 year old human is not going to open with a tough sex or drug question, they are going to open with "My friends say there is no Santa, is Santa real?" How you as a keeper handle that question is going to effect whether or not you get asked the future tough questions. Your statements are pretty naive. I may be a bit off topic but I am not crazy.
