A huge thank you to Alpha Schools for hosting my critters and I again! 🐍🍎☀️
We got to see many kids try something new and exciting today. It’s always an adventure watching the kids grow to conquer their fears and explore thier curiosities.
Another huge thank you to and for you volunteers! I couldn’t do this without your help and support.

Hash Your Hands 🧼🫧
It’s always important to wash your hands before and after handling reptiles! For their safety as well as yours.
BUT…
Did you know my reptiles also wash their hands after visiting you?
After a school visit, it’s important to thoroughly clean my reptiles to ensure their health and safety. I begin by gently scrubbing their body with a special reptile safe disinfectant. Then, I clean and disinfect any transport containers, tools, and surfaces they came into contact with during the visit. I also check each reptile for signs of stress or injury and make sure they are hydrated and comfortable. Proper sanitation helps prevent the spread of bacteria and keeps my reptiles healthy, especially after interacting with many students in different environments.
Sharing is caring, unless it’s germs! 🦠🐍🦎
