Here is a more detailed outline. I thought about showing pictures throughout the speech but that will take too much time away from the content.
Intro/History
- Snakes are not evil, slimy, or gross.
- Ball pythons and their natural habitat.
- How they got their name.
Housing/Husbandry
- What type of tank or tub setup required.
- Temperature and humidity requirements.
- How to care for a ball python.
Why they make great pets
- Their small size makes them easy to house. Only the largest of female ball pythons will get over five feet.
- The most docile snake to keep as a pet.
- They only get to an average of four to five feet.
- They are very cool pets. Many people are fascinated by snakes.
Morphs/Genetics
- Many different ball pythons morphs and genetic variations.
- Genetic variations, or morphs, include unique colors and patterns.
- It’s still a ball python, just a different color and has a different pattern.
Conclusion
- Reasons to rescue a ball python instead of buying one from the pet store.
- Go over what you have discussed and answer any questions.
Is that too much? Should I narrow it down more? People will be asking a lot of questions at the end but that's to be expected and is what happened last week with other's informative speeches.
