I am lined up with a date and time for my first ever "Educational snake showing". It is in what I feel is an unlikely place. I know that a lot of people do this sort of thing in settings such as schools and scout meetings and such because kids dont have such long time unchangeable fears of these animals so their minds are more open to change. My first one is going to be at one of the 10 Nursing Homes that my large dog and I frequent. I have mixed emotions about how this may go. I am thinking that I may not have much in the way of interest due to the age of all of the residents. Most people in their 80's and 90's were brought up to fear snakes and have had that fear for quite a long time. Also, Old people do tend to be set in their ways and are more difficult to change their minds. I do hope however that I may be able to get at least a few of them to get over their fear and realize before they die that these are not evil creatures.

I am interested in other people's opinions as to how you can picture this going LOL.

The date of my visit is 4/19/18 at noon. I was actually shocked that the activities director at the nursing home was receptive to this idea.
