S-S-S-s-snakes,
an'
Other
creepy, crawly
THINGS
This
is my grandson Troy's page. He is nearly 8 and has decided
that
snakes, lizards, turtles, and as he says, amphibians are way
"KOOL"
So as
much as I dislike creepy, crawly, slimy, and slithery things
like
snakes and other reptiles..Here they are for his enjoyment.
YUK!!
Snakes 
This is a coral snake. Beautifully colored but very
deadly.
One that you look but don't touch!
This
is a ribbon snake. Not all that beautiful to look
at.
These are not to my knowledge poisonous.
This
is the rattlesnake. It is prevailant in the U.S.A.
It is
also very deadly. It is at least courteous enough to give you
fair
warning to keep away!
Some
people keep these snakes for pets. Not for me, thank you!
They
could possibly hug you too hard! 
That
snake is called a Boa Constrictor. They squeeze their prey and
I'm
told can swallow small animals and rodents like the rat in one
gulp.
They have jaws that are not hinged together to allow this.
This
deadly snake is the Hooded Cobra.
They
are inhabitants of the far east and areas like India. They are
not
a snake to take lightly and can strike in the blink of an eye.
This
is all the snakes I have right now, but as the page grows I'll
be adding
more of the various amphibians and reptiles I find as I
surf
the web.
Lizards
These
are some lizards I picked up as I surfed.
Since
I know very little about these creatures I'll let you
determine
just exactly what kind they are unless they are
specifically
named with the graphic.
This
is a chamelion. They are known
to change
their coloring to match whatever surroundings they
are
in. Wouldn't that be a great way to change clothes?
This
little fella,(uh,gal?) is called a gecko. They are
seen
in the desert areas of the southwestern part of the U.S.A.
They
also like to eat bugs, yuk, and things like that.
This colorful lizard-like fella
is an
Alpine Newt. I don't know a lot about him, but he looks
peaceful
enough. He eats insects and plants.
This
next lizard is one that doesn't look too unfriendly. However,
not
all lizards are the sort you'd want to be too friendly with.
You
can't always tell just by looking. 
It's called
an Iguana.
As far as I know they are not poisonous.
This
one looks frightful and I don't know a lot about it, but
if anything
else, it makes you think before picking it up. 
This
is a Fire Salamander. These are a type of lizard
too.
Rather different looking isn't it. They come in a variety of colors
and
sizes. I had a salamander as a youngster and Troy had some
lizards
and frogs when he was younger too. The lizards got loose
and
ran around the house for a few days before being found.
I am
dividing each page for Troy into separate catagories,
so they
can expand along with Troy's interests. I'll be doing
some
turtles and perhaps some aligators and crocodiles on a separate page.
Please
come back often and follow our pages.
A lot
of the graphics shown above came from Zena's Dreams.
