I did not say I that I take them to school! I use them to teach...the idea of them!! I do take in their sheds. I am having a one time reptile expo for the kids to learn about lots of different reptiles. And yes at that time...I will be taking them. They will be seperated from the other reptiles though. Will this stress them out...a couple of them...probably. But I have to say I am excited about the chance to teach children about reptiles....I have to do it. I don't think this will be any more stressful for them than a reptile show would be. These children know the rules...they understand they have to be quite...they understand...no clapping..stuff like that. Although this is something I am funding......it is a school sponsored event for the second and third grade.

Also I have to highly agree with not taking them out to another pet store. You never know what you could pick up. Also you never know what someone else was handling and how that could transfer to your snake.
