I took a couple of snakes to my sons 4-5 preK class. It was a great time. The kids loved it and my son thought he was pretty cool. I took my old normal female that I have had for years and has been held by everybody and their mother. I also took my son's pastel female that we hatched. She has been held by kids since the day she was born. I talked for about 15 mins in front of the class and then we lined up the kids that wanted to touch. At first only about half of the kids wanted to but by the end everyone had touched a snake. It was completely their choice to touch or not. I am a firm believer in not forcing a snake on someone who is scared. A few parents where also there and those kids were given a chance to hold a snake if the parents were Ok with it. Make sure you take hand sanitizer. I made them use it before they touched my snakes to protect my collection. You don't know what kind of animals they have at home. Afterwards we all used hand sanitizer again. It was fun and I wouldn't think twice about doing it again.
