My domestic partner, Pam, is the educator with Teacher's Pet Reptiles. I'm the reptile keeper and breeder in the relationship. Most of the reptiles are in tubs in racks. We transport in a tub that allows no light in but has air holes. This year the permanent class pet is a leopard gecko. All others, like our 4 foot Tegus, are only at school for the day during the fall and spring.
In general with young small snakes, I prefer to keep the stress level at minimum. If transporting is to stressful for your snake it will let you know by going off feed.
Pam and I are always glad to see other educators using reptiles as class pets. It's funny that after all these years she has never had a child that was scared BUT most teachers wont enter her room haha...
