I'm not sure I like to think of it as a "display snake"...lol. But I've emailed Paul back and forth about this a couple of times and I think I mostly got stuff figured out. Just to let you know where I'm coming from, I'm a senior biology major and I'll be teaching high school biology next year. Part of the reason I want a snake is to use it as a visual aid with the genetics lessons. I've been working with wildlife rehab and wildlife education for 3 years now and it's always been my observation that kids seem to get into learning things like that a little better if they can have a personal connection by actually seeing an animal that gives a good example of the lesson they're learning. So I guess a "display snake" would be a better choice for something like that. Originally, I was going to get a corn snake, but I like the look of milks better. I think I'm leaning more towards corns again though because I've heard a lot of people say the same stuff about milks being flighty, etc. I do appreciate the input though.
