King snakes

On Friday, I was in the middle of my exam for AP Environmental Science (APES) when a teacher knocks on the door, I get up (being that I was nearest the door at the time) and answer the door, a teacher that I did not recognize walked up to our teacher that the front of the room. they whisper some things and I return to my test... at least partially because I was straining to hear what they were discussing. All of a sudden, my teacher points at me and says, "He'll take them, he is the local snake guy." Startled I look up and he asks if I want to take home some king snakes. I was excused from my essay and was told not to worry about it. It was revealed to my by the new teacher that she was retiring and could no longer keep her classes set of California King Snakes. I said that I could take them and later donate them to the museum. I ride with her to a different school her I load up not only 2 snakes but also, two tanks that are in excellent condition worth nearly $300 combined! The snakes are now at the museum in the tanks that I received with them but only temporarily, the snakes will soon be moved into a new tank that will match the rest of the room and I will bring the other tanks back so that I could fill them with whatever I can.
