Make sure the kids use sanitizer BEFORE and AFTER touching your reptiles. If they ask "do they bite" say "anything with a mouth can bite". If you are going to let them pet your animals maybe let them touch the back and tail area...keep them away from the mouth even if your babies are tame cause you never know. Just keep in mind the educational part..like teach them manners too. You can tell them to always ask the owner if they can pet their animal first...not to just run up and touch it. I dunno make it interesting...maybe some "fun facts" kids like to hear. hehe....I would check to make sure all the kids parents are ok with it cause you never know some parents are just very "protective". I remember asking about this on another forum because I want to do the same in the future...I'm very tied up with college right now. I'm trying to remember what I was told. I'll check back and see if I can find that thread. I hope this helps some. Oh, maybe instead of taking your lizards and snakes in just those kritter keepers...consider taking them in pillowcases if you don't already do that....less stress for them...then u can have them in containers...just so they don't see kids running around. Just try to have a good time.
