I was watching "Sid the Science Kid" on PBS today with my 3 year old. They were talking about snakes, and their senses. They did a little song and showed quite a bit of footage of ball pythons. They were beautiful animals, and were portrayed in a favorable light, not scary or icky. Just talking about how they feel different things with their belly's like cool, hot, etc....I was quite impressed, and excited to see BP's being shown to our kids!
