Handling the snake reduces its stress level? Well, finding students to handle the snake would be no problem. And yeah, I should pay her more attention. For now, until I make it to the store, I added black construction paper to the back of the tank and some cocoanut shell bedding to one end of each hide to make them seem more snug. And removed the jar. Snake totally freaked, of course, but it looks healthy. Pictures....I need to figure out my camera and my computer.....
