Wow! That is so cool! It's very nice to "meet" you!
Thank you for the input. This is my first reptile to own and I'm so happy to introduce the snake to my kids. I only had a couple seem squeamish but they're also highly curious! My principal told me there's no way she was coming into my room now... I told her that was the point.
Gliss, the corn snake, is a fantastic eater so it'll be very easy to see if she's stressed. I like the idea of maybe bringing her up once or twice a week -- maybe as a Friday reward. She will probably stay up here more regularly towards the end of the year when we begin our study on animals and reptiles.
Thank you again for your help!
