He has big plans for those six hours! He plans to read, finish his homework or pay some video games. I would do all three things but without the snakes, please!
Don’t worry though, he is and experienced snake friend. Since he was little, he used to play with the snakes which are his father’s pets and has knowledge about the behavior of the reptile.
