Thank you Robyn for all of your help!!! So I went on a field trip today (kinda) I call the phoenix herpalogical society, they do everything for the game and fish plus other stuff. Anyways I called and the guy (can't remember his name) and asked him if he had any eggs or other cool things that I could borrow for my presentation tomorrow. I got there at 6:30pm I did not leave until 8:15pm. He was so nice he showed my kids all of the lizards, snakes, alligators, crocodiles, camens, sulcatas, leos, DTs, RES, wallabees, Ally snappers, snappers. My kids and I had so much fun roaming in the dark looking at everything. Besides the snakes the kids loved the fact they got to sit and watch a sulcata lay eggs. Anyways long story short, I went for a unfertile egg and came home with an egg, lizard & snake eggs, and a RES shell. I think he felt bad he didn't have more. Anyways if you are in Phx you should check them out.

how fortuitous that you post this now.
first, that sounds like an awesome visit. those props will make great additions to your presentation.
secondly, i'm going to be visiting phoenix soon and i was just thinking today about how i could help promote this site out there. maybe i'll get some stickers printed up or something for when i visit the Phoenix Herp Society! thanks for the idea!

Not very long to enjoy the sun

Did presentation today, Weatherman lied, blankets and heat sources got cold...horrible.. Anyways the fourth grade loved it, the kindergarten loved it and the teachers learned something. I am so tired running in and out trying to grab different ones to try and keep them warm. We all end up getting cold. We all came home and soaked in warm water, they soaked for a long time, no desire to move. But they learned something, and I scared one girl and she started to cry, she wanted to go home and get her turtle so the dogs wouldn't get him, so I talked to her and then she was happy. Over all it went well and I ran out of time both times.

I know you knew your stuff ,were prepared, and would do just fine. Sounds like you had as much fun as the kids did. Congratulation.

I did, but I was worried about the torts, they were cold.

We should have reminded you to bring clamp-on lights. They have electrical outlets in the classrooms and you can clamp on the lights on each container to keep the turtles warm.

Something to think of for the next time!
