All my kids love snakes but Mariposa (just turned six yesterday) is like I was at that age.All day she is helping out in the snake room etc....

this is a few years ago at Jerry Hartleys farm (uncle jerry) were she thought she should share her bottle with his pig LOL....

never forget to involve the kids.

Awww yeah Shannon, you got that right! We've spoken before about our kids, and I agree that there is nothing more amazing than seeing our children glow when they appreciate the beauty or "coolness" of a snake, or the magic they exude when they feel they helped when the babies are hatching out. Nothing compares as far as I'm concerned (of course an ice-cold Corona whilst soaking up the sun in Aruba comes in at a close second...LOL).

Great Shots Shannon!!! Your 100% right about getting the kids involved.. I always let my kids hold the snakes when they ask..

We have been pretty busy here with the new baby coming home 3 weeks ago, but i need to take some new kid w/snakes pix..

Until then these pictures of my 4 y/o son that most of you have seen already will have to do!

Yea,I agree there is nothing like the natural world to set examples for children and to teach lessons that build character and inspire them to grow up to be accountable adults.

Don't post on the forums very often, but do read them and wanted to add my hunting buddy. This was last years photo when he was 2 1/2 years old. Ignore the cheesy grin, lol.
