last year my sons teacher ask me if i would mine bringing my snake and tort in. so i did and the kids loved it some were scared some were a little exited but they all love it i even took my digitel camera in and each kid got a chance to hold a snake of there choice or the tort an have there pic taken with it. and all i did was talk about there care and they ask what did i feed them and my son told every mice before i said a word and the kids screamed. but it was fun for all
