Snakes at Cub Scouts!

I found out about a herpetologist (snake expert) that gives free presentations about her snakes. So naturally I had her come to Cub Scouts! Boys + snakes = fun! I asked Tatiana if she thought the girls at Girl Scouts would like to have the snake lady come and show her snake friends, I was
answered with a vigorous "NO!" LOL!

Ben was very interested in the snakes but would NOT touch them.


Here Nick is helping hold up a very heavy anaconda!

I cannot remember what kind of snake this is, but her name is "Crystal", just like our dog! She was Nick's favorite.

And, yes, I held a snake too. How could I say no with all the boys and leaders asking me to. I couldn't lose their respect. Now I am "cool" because I am not afraid of holding a snake. Defiantly do not like them though...eeewwww! But don't tell the boys! Shhh!

I'd have to side with Tatiana on this one. Looks like the boys had fun though!

You're my new hero!! (well maybe not new since you've always been my hero). : ) YUCK-O! I wouldn't have given in to the peer pressure. Snakes are just GROSS! But I'm glad someone likes them.

Satina----that's a brave thing---to work with the Cub Scouts and the snakes. :) Keep up the good work.
Lots of love

Nick, What a courageous thing---to hold such a large snake. WOW! Looks like you had lots of fun.

Nick, "Crystal", the snake, looks like she is the same color as "Crystal", the dog, as well. Looks like you were having a lot of fun, and your Cubmaster looks like she is holding her own with the snakes as well ;), how did you get her to do that?
