This is something that I have been thinking about quite a bit. As it stands I will most likely keep it in the classroom over the summer vacation. However, I will be teaching a summer school and pass by my school every day and come in regularly to work on my plans for the coming year.

Between this, the fact that the summers are pretty mild out here, and the fact that there will be summer school (though not in my room) and the temperatures will continue to be managed during the day made me think that this would work out.

That said if you think I've overlooked something I would love to hear about it.

One other thing I am considering is allowing students to take it home over the break. I am much less certain about this and I would have to feel extremely confident about both the student and their parents. I would also visit their house to set up all of the equipment. I don't really know whether this will end up happening there are some families that I would feel consider doing this with. For example one family has kept ball pythons before and the father of another student breeds woma pythons.
