Default wanted snake shed skin huge for school talk

Hi, all really need some shed snake skin from a bigger snake than a corn, every year hubby takes 2 days holiday from work and does a zoo day at the school for the primary kids and nursey, as you can imagine the kids love it and you get a lot of 'wow, cool,yeah,oooh er lol) and hubby DOES NOT CHARGE.
As a parent he feels that if you can contribute to a school and help kids learn then as a parent of children that attend that school you should try and help, so far a fireman has done a talk,policeman, ambulance paramedic and all parents of children who attend and do not charge the school or kids nothing.
The area i live in is in a main council estate and most of the kids are from single/lone/low income parents would never get to see most of these pets so please can anyone help with anything to make his talk more exciting, any old posters or anything snake related you don't want, even skin. also would like iguana shed skin (different textures to leopard gecko and bearded dragon skin also) talk is end of april so plenty of time for you all to have a search. thanx melanie

yes he never charges and takes 2 days of his holiday to do it for the kids, they love it but we need a few more things to show the kids. he spends all day at the school and his only payment is limited cup of tea lol.
just want to have more touchy feely things for the kids to feel like skin and things. was looking on ebay and then thought hey i know i'll ask on the reptile forum, surely someone can help afterall it's the best resource lol.

wow yes that will be brilliant, the best things about shed snake skin is you get the pattern also, it would be great to do a quiz with the older primary kids as to what skin comes from which snakes, so any would be nice. lol
It so worth it guys to do for the kids, hubby loves doing it and educating the kids he finds it so irritating when if in a petshop some parent tells their kids that leopard geckos change colour or snakes are slippy, so when they actually get to touch one. (hubby always extra extra careful and holds head and bum end) they are so surprised to feel that snakes feel dry and smooth. they then do projects after based on the 'zoo day' and so it benefits all
all the ooohs and arhhs and errrrrrrr, yeauk and girly screams and boys nervous laughter and cools and wow makes his day (and thats just the dads of the kids after lol), he is tired at the end and we take two of each animal to give the other a rest, and i am a busy mum but luckily my mum keeps alot of my animals down her house and of course we have friends who will lend their creepy crawley for a day. so it may be tiring but it is sooooooooooooooo worth it. will put a up a few pics up of the day with the kids so you can all see who have helped with my request that all your items put to good use. the zoo day is in may confirmed this morning.
