Ferrous goes to school

[moosassah]

I've taken on a job at my son's preschool. This week is the letter "R".

Ferrous gets to come to school with me today for show & tell. Fret you not the kids (ages 3-5) will not be handling him at all. I'm bringing him in cage & all.

So do you think they can pronounce "rhacodactylus"?

I bet they'll LOVE him. You'll probably be getting lots of angry phone calls tonight from parents that don't want to get a pet gecko for their child. LOL Have fun teaching them about the wonderful world of herps!

haha i cant even say it, so my guess is.....yes, they will be able to pronounce it. That would be so much fun for them, seeing such a cool gecko!

OMG! The kids were hysterical! My son Jake, 5, was so proud to be able to show his school one of our pets. He was not happy that I wouldn't bring Hidey McGecko to school. His leo is not ready for a public adventure.

Ferrous wowed the whole crowd. They loved seeing him jump into his home & swing on the vines. It was very cool. He'll definitely be getting a fresh batch of crickets this weekend.

You only feed him fresh crickets if he preforms well??? haha, just kidding! Thats great that you showed them a crestie. Knowledge is the key to having people raise their pets healthy. Im glad you showed them an interesting pet.

That is wonderful. I have a daycare and my DC kids love the lizards. They all like to go watch me check hides and water in the mornings. One of the little 4 year olds knows all the geckos names....no small feat since we have 22 all together.
