I've been working in education for about 8-9 years and its been a great way to be able to educate people about reptiles. I applaud you for doing so on top of being an every day educator.

When I have brought my animals into a school I have just used a secure tub and used a cloth bag/pillowcase to keep the animal in. Put something down in the tub for padding of course such as a towel. I have had to keep mine at work a full day before as well. If you have something to provide temporary portable heat you should consider that as well (heat pad). I might get yelled at for this but I don't worry about bringing water to much...maybe a spray bottle if your that worried about it. I just bring the basics to keep the animal feels secure, and make sure that no one can disturb it while not in presentation.

Definately consider the things Jo mentioned, as exciting as it can be to bring in our animals for show...you have to coniser them first. I have had to cancel a presentation before for one reason or another be it a shed starting, feeding schedule conflict, etc.


GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN!
