The main attraction of today's show was film star Mr.Saikiran who himself conducted the show. He is the vice president of Friends of Snake Society. The students were told about different poisonous and non poisonous snakes of India and how to identify them and what is the first aid to be done when snake bites. He also gave a talk on the common misconceptions on snakes. The students enjoyed the morning shower and the snake show very much. The students were very much exited after seeing live snakes and even some of them dared to touch and even some put snakes on there shoulders .The school authorities have asked for more such shows in the future.
