Lizard Rides to School

We were going to school I saw a lizard he was on  the window of the car. He rode all the way to school and home with us. I thought he might fall off or that he might be dead. Dad  and  I had to catch it. I caught it and he was cold so I let him go because dad said I had 5 lizards all ready. I was sad but he belongs at his home. Do you have pets? How many ?

Snakes I've Played With

During summer vacation I go to Mr JC's farm in North Carolina. When I am there I find lots of wild creatures to play with. In the picture you see me playing with a yellow ring neck rat snake. They are non venomous or in other words  non  poisonous. They eat rats and they can hurt you so you need the right equipment. Once I was running and almost got bit by a snake, so be careful when  you are playing outdoors near the woods or you might get bitten  by a snake or have you already ?.......SSSSSS...  what is that?... OUCH!
