Today I did a talk about snakes at my boys school for his class (5 & 6 year olds). I'd been crapping myself for weeks about doing it but I am glad to say they loved it
I took three snakes in and I'm really pleased that every child stroked our ball python, no one shied away, they all thought she and the small Boa were great. They weren't so sure about the dwarf retic though
If anyone gets the chance to do the same with their kids at school then go for it. To see the interest and looks on their faces was awesome. Even the teaching staff were impressed and offered up lots of questions in a language the little ones could understand.
Sorry, but just had to share as my boy felt a million bucks to see his Daddy in class giving a talk about snakes, he was so proud telling everyone the ball python was his snake
