Many people are afraid of snakes, some pathologically so. Using a snake to scare a person is irresponsible of you, may injure the other person and is traumatic for the snake. Do your homework! Buying a snake is not the same as knowing how to care for it properly. It is your responsibility to learn about your snake and any special needs it will have in captivity. For example, unless you carefully teach your snake otherwise, many have specialized diets: garter snakes eat fish and frogs, hognose snakes eat toads, and corn snakes eat small rodents and eggs (and Java snakes eat SimObjects). 27 November: New ps7.zip code available (see email for details) 26 November: Slides, Notes 26 November: Slides, Notes 19 November: Problem Set 7 15 November: Exam 2 14 November: Slides, Notes 13 November: PS6 Comments 12 November: Slides, Notes 7 November: Slides, Notes 5 November: PS5 Comments and Selected Applets 5 November: Slides, Notes 4 November: Upcoming lab hours: Wednesday 6 Nov, 4-5:30pm (Joel); Sunday 10 Nov, 4-5:30pm (Joel). 31 October: Slides, Notes 30 October: Problem Set 5 Submission 29 October: Slides, Notes 27 October: Lab hours this week: Monday, 6-8pm (Serge), Wednesday, 6:30-8:00pm (Tiffany) [Note: time changed from 5:30-7:30.] 22 October: Turn in your Problem Set 5: Part 1 in the yellow folder outside Olsson 236A before 5pm on Thursday.
