I'm doing a speech on Reptiles. The basic point that I want to relay is the fact that if you're educated, you're usually not as afraid of them. The focus has to be narrow, so I've decided to base it on Ball Pythons. I'm trying to get typical stereotypes of snakes and then disprove them. I have 10 minutes in which to speak. These are my common misconceptions so far: a. They are not venomous
b. They do not grow to tremendous size and eat humans
c. They are not vicious (as in will not chase you down for no reason and attack)
d. They are not slimy

I wanted to bring in a snake but my college has notified me that I won't be allowed to have one on campus. I think I'm going to use a Petco box with a fake snake in it as an example and like ask the class how many people are afraid...or something like that.

If anyone has any more things that I can argue, please let me know. Thanks sooo much.
