Our hosts & parents have been incredibly generous in giving permission to post photos, and I am SO thankful! I hope these wonderful memories demonstrate the joy these amazing animals can bring as well as the rewards of overcoming anxiety! 
We had a fantastic time In Canning on Saturday, celebrating Eli’s birthday! I didn’t have to do much convincing at this outing, because almost everyone was eager for some snake cuddles! One nervous young lady, in particular, wasn’t sure she wanted to sit anywhere near the snakes, but soon wasn’t…
We had a wonderful March Snake Break with the Kentville After School Program – KASP on Tuesday! Just a few pics for privacy, but we had so much fun! Some of the kids were fantastic helpers, taking the snakes around for everyone to see & touch, and everyone was loathe…
We had a fantastic time at Little Pumpkins Early Learning Centre this morning! Only a few photos for privacy, but what a courageous group of pre-schoolers! Even though a few of my snakes were even longer than they were, many were up to the challenge, including some of the teachers….
We had an absolute blast celebrating Garrett’s birthday at Sunken Lake on Saturday! They were quite tentative at first, but soon fell in love with the longbabies. Mom was quite adamant that she wouldn’t be handling any snakes, but the minute I turned around to check on everyone, she was…

We spent a lovely Sunday morning in Upper Sackville celebrating Tate’s birthday! The kids had lots of fun, but this event stood out because of all the brave parents who wanted to try some snake cuddles. Where children are always ready for new experiences, it’s much harder for adults to…

We had a fantastic time with the Port Williams Embers!! Marsha & I both grew up in guides & scouting, so it was an absolute joy to spend the evening sharing the longbabies with the new generation! Many were snake-fans already, but a few were particularly nervous… but that’s why…
