I did show and tell! Neener neener

I went into my daughters class to read with the kids for alittle while and thought I'd bring butters the ball python and a few recent sheds in to ask the teacher if it would be ok for my daughter to show her new pet. The teacher was actually more excited than I was expecting sence I didn't ask or anything ahead of time.
Most the kids knew somebody in there family that has a snake. I thought that was great I didnt relize how common herping has become in my area but none had seen morph snakes before and were amazed at the colors on butters the butter ball python. All the kids love the snake and were very respectful. I was scared at first because first graders can be rambunctious at time. But they were quite and did not grab at the snake. Overall a very fun trip and my daughter is real proud of her pet snake but wants to bring in the big girl next time

closest retail location the carries any morph snakes is in San fran 45 mi from here and the animals were not in good condition some one should look at this area for retail locations for their reptile biz seems untapped

That is was great idea Joe. Those kids will remember that experience for a very long time.

Glad you made it a positive one for them.

Cool! My daughter's teacher has also expressed interest in setting up a snake visit, but in the spring after the weather has warmed up a bit.
