Snakes alive!

SEVERAL slithery snakes got out and about during a recent visit to Maranatha Christian School.
Year seven students Karlie and Charis put on a brave face as the reptiles were draped over their body during a visit by the Snakebusters team.
Lizards and a crocodile also made the journey which was part of an end of term activity organised for all year seven students at the Endeavour Hills school.
Teacher Aurora Marinau said many students were scared of snakes before the visit.
“Some were petrified at first but towards the end, nearly all had at least touched a snake – although some of the teachers could be seen standing outside the door,” she said.
