I do this quite offten with my pre k daughters class amd my sons class also. I olnu take 2-3 max. I transport in bags inside a tub, and carry a bottle of hand sanitizer always. I tend to start small with earlings, check reaction oof the kids ( teacher) then move up in size from there. I allow the willing kids to hold my 2000+ gr male who is more of a dog then snake..lol.. Either way, good luck, have fun and be ready to answer lots of questions. +
