I was messing around on youtube looking for cool snakey stuff,and came across this recording of a google hangout classroom session hosted by Rick Schwartz of the San Diego Zoo (he's on talk shows with animals a lot). Rick teaches the kids about snakes and the ecosystem and such with his gorgeous boa, no locality info as it was a rescue, but it looks to be a nice big standard Columbian. The informational content is all super basic (these are very little kids he's talking to) but the way he delivers it and the kids' reactions i just thought was really delightful, also could be very useful to those of us with kids or young relatives or friend's kids who are curious. And even if that does not apply to you, you could always just take it in as a pretty nice handling video of an 8 foot boa.
Anyway, i hope you enjoy it.
