Snakes!

(Not for the faint of heart!)

Our local library had a special event this past July, featuring Ron Cromer of Snakes Alive. Our children were completely engrossed by Ron's presentation.

But the fun (for them!) didn't stop there! To their delight they were allowed to handle the snakes.

Oh dear, this one creeped up Dominique's sleeves.



I pulled it out for him. Oh, what would a mother do for her child!


Matthias isn't quite sure about this!

But Laurence didn't seem to mind.

Look at my girl!

This Burmese python is impressive, isn't she? Her name is Penelope.


Now, that's a big, heavy snake! Raphael and Lydia volunteered to hold it!

Amazing!
