Great job you are doing sharing your hobby. My only concern is how close the kids faces are to the animals. I don't care how tame a boa or python is and has never bitten etc. etc. but God forbid one of those boas has a bad day and a kid blows in its face the wrong way and it strikes one of them. Perhaps the blue tongue could pick up the odor of food or something on that little boys hand. Could you imagine the damage it could do if it bit him ?. Imagine that boa in the first pic striking the little girl in the face ? I used to bring my animals to schools and do educational displays but the animals were always being handled by me and the head was never in a position to ever possibly do damage. Theres always that chance no matter how tame. If an accident does happen its just fuel for the activists to want to ban them even more. I think what you are doing is great, would just be more cautious.Just my 2 cents.
