No offense, but if you're dealing with just 3rd graders I think maybe you should cut back on the amount of critters you'll be haulin' around. It may wind up to be more work than it's worth.



I realize you'll have time to fill and that many reptiles would certainly do that, but you could probably do just as well with half a dozen reps. You'll be able to cover the info of each more thoroughly and there will CERTAINLY be many more questions asked of you than you can imagine . That many children will keep you quite busy.



For three years running I took either an iguana or a ball python to my boys' class at the local elementary school for "pet day." Inevetibly(sp) I wound up going from there to another class room or two for repeat performances. Makes for a long day. Was a great experience for most of the kids, and some of the teachers. Although I did run into a number of kids that were absolutely petrified of snakes. After the sessions most of them came round.



How ever you do this I hope you enjoy it
