Educating at schools is different.

I just spent 20 minutes typing a reply out and it didn't post, so I hope it doesn't go up later so that there is 2 of the same thing. Lol



Anyway, going to educate at schools sound good in theory, but when I was in school the people that came in were local zoos and such. I have no idea your experience, so this was not meant as a put down. Please don't take it as one.



When you go to those schools, if the people your are trying to educate find out you have all those snakes in your home in a residential area, they might not be too happy. God forbid one of the teachers is from PETA. You WILL NEVER EDUCATE ANYONE FROM PETA ABOUT SNAKES!!!!! NEVER!!!! They will never like an animal that eats a furry rabbit. NEVER!!!! I actually respect PETA and what they do. I don't agree with it when it comes to snakes, but I respect their opinion.



Why don't you ask Pete Kahl what happened to him when his neighbor found out he had a snake building next door? I'll tell you. He spent $40,000 and lost, he had to move. This is after he won the first few rounds, but lost the final one. This was all because one neighbor didn't like snakes. His new home is paradise though, so it all worked out for the best. You might not be so lucky.



I suggest you don't flaunt your snakes in front of the lady that took you to court. She may not go away quietly. Ask Pete.



I'm sure your going to do what you want anyway, so good luck Shiloh. Remember though, you can only educate someone that wants to be educated. Some people don't want to be educated, they will hate snakes until the day they die.
