thats great! i wish we had someone to do that here in athens (georgia).. how did you go about getting involved with this? i wonder if it is something i could do? not anytime soon, i dont think i can fit anything else in my current schedule, but maybe after summer... its a fantastic idea to go and educate kids about reptiles... the most common excuse i hear for keeping a wild caught boxie (or any other wild caught herp) is "but my kids love it and want to keep it"... maybe if they knew more about them they could appreciate that they are wild animals and need to stay in the wild, or at the very least, learn enough to keep them alive and happy.. youre doing a great thing!
