This is a class all about ball pythons where learners will meet a LIVE snake! Participants will learn about these remarkable reptiles including basic knowledge and information regarding biology, ecology, habitat, and care. There will be plenty of facts provided on these organisms as well as their characteristics, adaptations, and what makes them so special! Students will also learn about their conservation and concerns in the wild. This is a lecture style, interactive class with many opportunities to ask and answer questions from myself or other students. No prior knowledge or experience is needed to take this course. A love for animals is most definitely appreciated :) If you are scared of snakes or view them in a negative light, I hope through this class and some education I can change your mind about these vital and wonderful creatures! Respect is a huge part in appreciating/ understanding animals! *Animal friends are ALWAYS welcome*

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from The Pennsylvania State University
Hello prospective parents and guardians! My name is Greg or "Mr. G" and I'm an educator from New Jersey, U.S.A..
For over two decades I’ve had a fascination for all there is to do with the natural world and the creatures that call it home. I have worked with and cared for a multitude of species (dogs, frogs, cats, birds, rodents, lizards, snakes, turtles, hedgehogs, fish, various other wildlife, and much more!) throughout the entirety of my life as I tend to my own mini animal sanctuary, love, and work conserving/ researching animals from around the world. I have been teaching learners from over 50 countries here on Outschool since early 2021! :D
I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University where I received a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Minor in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences! My coursework in university focused on veterinary sciences, biological/natural sciences, and wildlife (Mammalogy, Ornithology, Herpetology, Conservation, and Management). I spent time as a veterinary assistant, have participated in university studies and ongoing research regarding plants and animals (invertebrates, reptiles, various flora), have worked as a fauna and flora surveyor through college and beyond. My continued research of the world around us and outreach is one of my greatest missions. I love hearing about my students' interests and knowledge and look forward to imparting my own to them as well!
My focus as an educator is fostering a love for learning, animals, and what the world has to offer past, present, and future. My teaching style is inclusive, interactive, and hands-on. I believe learning should be fun, enjoyable, and thrilling for both student and teacher. I have a variety of animals that can be incorporated in class to help get learners engaged and excited about nature and the world we live in. We need to get our next generation connected to nature and the organisms that live alongside us to pass the torch and save all that we can!
My passions apart from animals are cooking, art, conservation of the planet, and outdoor activities such as hiking and animal surveying.
I absolutely adore what I do and I'm so excited to meet and teach your learner! Thanks for stopping by and remember... never stop learning!
For specific scheduling requests/ class times, please send me a message!
*Recordings not shared*
*Class is available at the time you are signed up for*
*Message me prior to class such that appropriate action (transfers, etc.) can be taken to get things sorted for you and your learner*
Have a wonderful day :)
