Snakes in the classroom
Published Friday, January 22, 2010
Brandi Adams, a student teacher at Elcan-King Elementary, conducted a lab observation with Veronica Pearce's and Teresa Odom's third-grade classes recently. As part of a unit on habitats, the students were introduced to several non-venomous snakes from various habitats. Included were two ball pythons and one albino California king snake. With the help of the snake owner, Bailey Gause, the students enjoyed some discussion about the individual snakes and a brief question-and-answer session.

If the students (or anyone else for that matter) are interested in learning about snakes and the way they behave around people there is a really interesting site to look at from an organisation called Living with Wildlife. They have a heap of information on this subject, so check out their site at livingwithwildlifeusa.com.
