Picture From Atlantis

So Jacob, Ian, Joshua, Mom, and I all went to the pet store, Atlantis. There was a cougar, a crocodile, four huge parrots, breaded dragons, leopard geckos, shark, and fish. Lots of fish! It was a pet store/zoo!

                                                   Rock waterfall. There are huge fish in this tank!

                                                            Cute cockatoo that says "Hello!"

                                                            Yellow and black tree frog.

                                                         Aquarium & Terrarium mix.


      

Leopard Gecko

I really think a leopard gecko would be a nice lizard beginners pet! There small, cute, fun, and hardy. If we get a lizard, this kind would be the one. Or a bearded dragon, people say there nice first lizards too.

Atlantis!

We're going t Atlantis today (the pet store) and getting some stuff for our terrarium. I've never been there so it's going to be a new adventure to me! I used to go to pet land, the worst pet store in the U.S.A. then I went to the pet C.O. and got a parakeet there, but it was down south terre haute next to pet land. So I'm trying out ATLANTIS! Sounds cool, and it's got an awesome name plus it's only 5 minutes away! I know there a aquarium store but I hope they got some more creatures then just fish. They have terrarium stuff, so they might have some reptiles. (I really don't know) I'll just have to find out!

Oh no...not more, PLESE NO!

My brothers girlfriends cat, sunny had kitten. Sunny is a light orange cat and she had four orange kittens, what a surprise, a light orange at got mated by a dark orange cat and had four orange kittens, that's a huge surprise, NOT! She had them about three days ago. I don't really like kittens any more. We have had eleven kittens be born in one day by three cats. I'M SICK OF KITTENS NOW! In my life, I have seen probably nine cat births. Trust me...it's not pretty. Kylin (my big sis) hates how many cats are being bred around here. One male, 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 females, and over 9,000 kittens. Three words...BORED-OF-KITTENS! I rather have something that doesn't mate every time the kittens grow up from the mom. Like a frog, or a lizard, or a turtle, or a corn snake? Corn snake....they don't mate with only one.....corn snake.....corn snake.......corn...snake.......! ANYWAY! I'm a go and do something. I think I'll check out my "Overcome Bored" blog. Bye bye!

I'm confused...

I am lost. I believe we are going to make a terrarium, but my mom is pretty busy, my dad works a lot, my brothers don't want to help me, and I want to get it done but I can't drive to get the stuff and I don't want to build it my self I want it to be a family thing! I pray my busy parents will get around to it. My dad gets so busy making money for our family (Witch I am VERY proud of him for doing) and working on peoples houses. Not that I am angry or very upset, I just don't know if my daddy has daughter time. Of course, I never ask him 'cause we kinda just want to work, come home, play Xbox, and go to bed, and if he has time, he works on stuff on his mac. I was thinking about asking my dad when he could get around to buying the stuff for the terrarium with me and my mom, but he had a band meeting. I don't like asking my parents "Are we going to do this?" "Can we go now?" "Can we get a lizard too?" "When are we working on the terrarium?" "Can I get a corn snake or is a no?" I'm just not the asking kinda girl. But now, I ask a bunch of things and research of bunch of things about the terrarium! I got my hopes all up for it, but I just don't know when we can actually get it done! I know my dad will do it some day, I know my mom will help some day. I believe in them. It's only been two days since we said "Yes" to a terrarium, so this is no complaint. I pray we get a corn snake, but I don't ask about it because my mom wants to start with a tree frog and mud turtle. Tree frogs can't live in the kind of terrarium we are making, not really any kind of frog can. Turtles can, as long as they have a place to swim and  a dry place to lay. Frogs can't live on soil (from what I read) and turtles have to have a nice place to bask! Here is my "I" list.
I pray for a corn snake. :(
I hope my mom gets around to buying the terrarium stuff! :D
I believe in my dad that he will help me with the terrarium.
I really pray for a corn snake. :(
I know my parents are busy, but I want them to know I'm here to help.
I will pitch in money for the terrarium creatures!!
I promise I wont cry or throw a fit if we don't get a corn snake.
I am very happy for my dad and my mom in there band.
I pray my parents will some day notice I'm a huge HUGE help around here.
I know they see me now, but now since I have money, I wont be selfish!
I will search about care for turtles since my mom wants one so bad, and I love her.
I know our terrarium will be done soon.
I poor out my heart for my parents for what all they do for me.
I love my parents and what time they spent for me.
I can't believe my parents spend so much money just to let me live when I was just a baby.
I bless my parents with my money for what they want, not what I want. (Like a turtle for my mom)
I am thankful for food in my belly.
I am thankful for a roof over my head!
I am thankful God gave me my mom, dad, and sister, and seven brothers.
I love you...

Hop hop pop!

So for our terrarium, we are starting with a frog and turtle and maybe a lizard, the snake will come later or WAY later. (Or at least not till the all the other creatures die) With a little hop hop here and a pop pop there, we got a frog and turtle. I am still doing research on what kind of turtle and frog we should get, and I figured it out! My mom wants a small turtle, a semi-aquatic turtle, maybe a tiny tiny turtle. I did some searching and found the mud turtle! There are different kinds of mud turtles, the kid in this picture is just one I found on the internet. Mississippi mud turtles are pretty cool though. I'm the geek here, I do the researching and reading and blogging. I'm a blogger and a geek! Yup, that's me!

A frog? Um...a frog? Uh, maybe a...no...or a...nah...maybe a....blah. I GOT IT! A red eyed green tree frog! Perfect! There pretty, like my mom wanted, there not slimy, like everyone else wanted, and there enjoyable, like I wanted! Tree frogs are so pretty, I think. I'm sure that would be an awesome pet! I don't know what sound they make, but I'm sure it's pretty.

Lizards/Snakes I'm Thinking About

Leopard Gecko | Lifespan 15-20+ Years | Size 7-10 Inches | Leopard geckos are very pretty and cute! They make nice first pets and are not very hard to take care of! There easy to handle and are usually easily tamed.

Bearded Dragon | Lifespan 8-10 Years | Size 14-24 Inches | Beard dragons are pretty large, a little more difficult to take care of then a gecko but still very enjoyable! For a two foot long (Or smaller) lizards are very cool and are something nice to show off to your friends. Pretty easy to handle, but awkward to hold (I believe) 'cause there big. Usually easily tamed.

Crested Gecko | Lifespan 5-15 Years | Size 5-8 Inches | The crested gecko makes a nice pet. very hardy! There small, and cute. Geckos make amazing rewarding pets.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corns Snake | Lifespan 15-20 Years | Size 4-6 Feet | I don't know very much about corn snakes, 'cause it's a 40 to 60 chance we mite get one, so I don't google much. A corn snake is the best first snake. Corn snakes will not kill you! They are not venomous or large enough to swallow you whole!





Thanks for reading. The corn snake are pretty much the best pet snake ever! The California king snake makes a nice pet too, it's pretty much just like a corn snake. I did some research on some of these animals and I learned a lot! I'll make another blog about turtles and frogs next.
