Our First Education Show!

[Solaris16]

Hi Everyone!

Sunny and I did our first educational show last Friday. He is a 10 month old Okeetee (?) corn snake that I have had since he was 3 weeks old. He is incredible personality wise, I love him! He did very well, other than being rather nervous, which was understandable. Basically what we did was go to the museum about an hour away, stand behind a table, let people touch him and answer questions. A lot of people stroked him and asked questions. Many people were scared, but touched him anyway. I loved how many people were shocked at how soft and dry he felt "Wow, not at all how I thought he would feel! He's not even a little bit slimy!" Sunny held on tight to me the whole time, but he was okay and I hope that we will do many more shows in the future! It's great to be back! Hope to hear from you all soon! Wendy :)

Good job!
Anytime we can get out into the public like that and not scare them silly, its a good idea.
I wish I'd been with you.

This is the first time I've been on the new "set-up":) !! Thanks for the great share. Did you get a video of the outing? Sam

Hi Sam!
Nice to "see" you again!:D No, we didn't video tape it, but that would have been a neat idea! We *might* be taking part in a show that will be on the television though! If this takes place, I'll be on for sure, but I'm not sure if Sunny will be on! Should be fun anyway! Nice to be back! Wendy :)

If you keep it up, people will want to hear and see more. And you know that the more we are educated the more we love our snakes. I seem to be learning something new everyday. (Plus we're having fun to boot!;) ) So perhaps next time Sunny is on tour we'll see some star photos. Keep up the good work! Sam

You should try giving a "show" at a school. I've done some shows for the local humane society for a class of kidnergardeners and they all loved it. You could spark interest in some little minds.
