My kiddos love just everything! They have actually enjoyed small snakes found in our yard several times. It's all I can do to keep them from kissing them. My daughter sneaks toads into the house in her plastic purse (so far, I've freed them all in time), and she came in once with a red-backed salamander in her pocket. The sallie survived. We got our Leopard Geckos as a solace for their sorrow at not being able to keep wild things as pets. Now my battle is helping the kids enjoy handling the geckos in a way that is no threat to the geckos. Luckily, one of the gecko girls really seems to enjoy human contact, so we take her out a couple times a week. She seems to love it.
Snake funeral in the morning -- thunderstorms have postponed the services.
