Rattlesnake’s

Rattlesnakes are the best-known venomous snakes in the United States. There are more than a dozen different kinds. The largest is the Eastern Diamondback rattle snake which may grow up to be 8 feet and wider around than a man's arm. The bulges at the rear of the snake’s head are it’s poison glands. The holes, or pit’s, below each eye are sense organs that can pick up the smell of it’s prey far away. They help the snake easily locate it’s prey, even in the dark. A rattlesnake’s upper jaw contains two very large teeth, called fangs, are sharp and hollow. They fold back when the mouth is closed. The snake uses it’s fangs to inject venom into it’s prey. The rattlesnakes rattle makes a noise like dry leaves rustling. This is a warning signal to predators or other enemies.

Leopard Geckos

     Leopard Geckos live in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan where the terrain is dry and rocky. Leopard geckos live on and under ground. A gecko has a triangular head and a large tail. It’s skin is bumpy and has black dots all over it. It is designed to camouflage the gecko from predators.               

      A leopard gecko makes a perfect pet. They are small, and have minimal care requirements, and can be left alone for several day’s. They are quiet and don’t smell. You can buy some from pet stores or breeders. They are not expensive.

    I have two leopard geckos but they are two different colors. They both have dots all over them. I feed them king worms, meal worms, or crickets. They have a ten gallon tank. I try to hold them every day. I have had them for a year. When I first got Giecko he bit me non stop but today he will not bite me for any thing. And when we got Gezelle she didn’t bite because my Uncle had her first. These are my favorite lizards that I have ever had.

    If you ever get a lizard you should get a leopard gecko. They're the best lizards ever.
