Yeah! The kids were great. Only 1 had a fear of Calliope. ( She was the replacement. She is 99.999% safe, lol) As I said, I have taken snakes before so some of the kids know about them but it is always great when there's a new kid at school who hasn't seen them. And this time, there were no stories of shovels! Maybe I am getting through? They were interested in the bite too, which brought up the subject of venomous snakes so it turned into quite an educational lesson. I then helped a phobic grandmother get over her fear of snakes, which was really fun, lol. She even touched Calliope. Poor woman was actually shaking but she was determined. Then a Frenchman on holiday saw us & came over. He whipped out his video camera & quizzed us on breed etc. A good day all round, I'd say. And Calliope just relaxed & soaked up the sunshine like the lady she is! She is also a Bredli ( bred by Mr Bredli) & I just can't fault her temperment at all! Wanambi is usually so placid! I can't remember the last time, before yesterday that he even struck at anyone! Just having an off-day I guess, lol.
