MOM's WORST NIGHTMARE

Today Colin found a bunch of Horned Baboon spiders… EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!! Mom was in the kitchen, Colin had 6 baboon spiders in a bucket. I think mom was terrified more than I was. Colin still was in his school uniform. Why did mom send me to take pictures? Colin was chasing me around with a 5-inch baboon spider on his hand. We found out that those baboon spiders can’t climb metal, only one can so we put it with the biggest spider, that fought with the 2^nd biggest was put in the little box. When dad got home he put the 2 biggest spiders on the kitchen floor, mom screamed again.

Two Chameleons

The other day I found two chameleons in our yard. One was turning black and it would hiss and snarl while the other one tried to bite. To catch one you have to beware of their mouth, because they bite! I made one of the chameleons claw Grayson. he he he!!! To catch one of the chameleons, I pushed on it’s back, so it would creep forward onto my hand and then I lifted my hand. When a chameleon climes on a person it hurts, because they have long sharp claw feet. They have dull yellow tongues. I fed them some bugs for lunch. I put bugs on a pencil and then one would shoot its tongue to get the bug. When we let them go they were exhausted.

Squirtle

Squirtle is a tortoise not a turtle. Tortoises have round stumpy feet, turtle's feet are usually webbed. He eats snails, grapes, tomatoes, cooked chicken, looseleaf lettuce, mushrooms, and millepedes. He likes to sleep at night. He is six inches long, four inches wide, and weighs one pound 2 ounces.


When we first got him he would not budge, he just sat there hiding in shell. When we picked him up he still would not move unless we put him in the pond and then he would swim.


Now he is not shy at all. When we pick him up he does not hide in his shell. He likes swimming and he likes it when I rub his neck. Sometimes he sits in our laps and watches TV. I think he likes Nat Geo Wild the best. Squirtle thinks it is fun to squeeze my fingers between his arms and shell. He is very strong. For a tortoise he is pretty fast. He can run about as fast I walk.


Squirtle is a Bell's Hingeback Tortoise. The back part of his shell can move up and down to protect his tail and legs. He is a very cool pet.

Snakes

Snakes are creepy,
Snakes are slimy,
Snakes eat rats,
Snakes eat bats.

Some have venom,
Some have none,
Some are deadly,
Some are fun.

I have one
I have ten
One just got loose again.
