You got it Dave. I really miss that ruthveni and would like to get another (or 1.1!) sometime. He's at a nature center over in Northeast Arkansas, so at least he's still providing an educational value.

Here's what my classroom looked like toward the end of this past school year. Keep in mind, the room set up is an ever-evolving arrangement and it looks a little cluttered in these photos, but hey, it was May and I was ready for summer break!

This is my door:


This is what you would see if you just walked in through that door:


And this is my alcove area - complete with leaks, loads of brown recluses under anything on the ground!, stuffed badger I sometimes use to relieve stress by terrifying students, super tall cherry tomato plant, and the current home of the indigo snake. He gets sunlight streaming in during the morning from the right side, then during the evening from the left side. It's not the best possible enclosure for him but it's roomy! And he seems to enjoy the space.


Oh and lest you think I have some kind of weird Satan fetish, my school's mascot is the Red Devils, hence the painted red devil behind that glass case.

So that's my little world during the school year. It's about a reptile oriented as it can be, though I have plans to further ramp that up this coming year. I want my students to learn biology by observing life, not just memorizing various cellular processes. I also love the opportunity to help dispel various snake myths and help people get over their ophidiophobia.
