what do you all think?

As I said before, I am an elementary school teacher (grades 1 and 2) at a PRIVATE school in St.Catherines Ontario. My idea for hte past couple years was to bring my 2.5 year old male corn snake to the school as a pet. Of course I wouldn't let the kids take him out or anything, only I would do that. But, I thought the children could get a lot out of having a pet like that. I would certainly invite the children to watch me feed it now and then (they have already seen it...and I did it in a way as to not disturb the snake), and discuss things about hte snake such as where it comes from in the world, skin shedding, diet, health issues, and other stuff. I think it would be an excellent opportunity. I plan on keeping him there in my 25 gallon Long tank which is completely escape proof. And, it is high enough that the lid is out of reach from the small children. Has anyone tried this, or can you forsee any issues I should check into? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks all...you are all awesome!
