Heyahh,
I have a 1 and a half (approx) year old corn snake and I got talking to my science teacher at school who said I should bring him in to show in science club one day. I have permission of Head of dept. so it's all above board but is there anything I would be wary of??
Will my snake be okay?
He will be in his usual tank all day, and out for max 20mins at lunch time... Anything to consider? Thanks :)

I brought my corn into school back in the day. All I'd say is just watch for any signs of stress when he's got lots of people around. Especially if it's the first time he's been infront of lots of people. Some snakes don't care, some think "Oh holy cr*p, there's a hoard of scary things!!"

So just pay close attention, let him show you how he's feeling :)

Yes. The travel from home to school cud be
stressfull. Also crowds and noise can
have the same effect. I love to show myt
snakes off just prefer to do it from there
own homes:) just my opinion:)

If you're bringing him in a travel viv or something else that has see-though sides, remember to bring a towel to cover the viv if the snake gets too stressed out.

What helps too is to bring some kind of hand desinfectant so you can make people clean their hands before and after they touch the snake (if you're planning on letting them do that). Oh, and bring a photocamera to capture their faces when you first unveil your snake ;)
