My Top 10 Favourite Reptiles


10-  Jesus Christ lizard (Basiliscus vittatus) -
 Its my favorite lizard because it can run on water and can burrow down in the sand  to hide from predators!!!!






9- Frill-necked lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingil) -
this lizard is quiet a vicious animal when fretted, it is well know by its breathtaking defense mechanism .








8- Flying dragon - (Draco volans)-
 This type of lizard can glide tree to tree, it eats arboreal ants, this amazing lizard can lay up to 1-5 eggs only. They don't glide when its raining or when its windy.





7- Flying snake- (Chrysopelea ornata)-
This snake is not venomous, it eats lizards, frogs and bats. It lives in India, Sir Lanka.







6- ( Brookesia micra)-
This chameleon can grow up to 29mm it is small enough to stand on the head of a match!!! they climb up into the tree branches at night to sleep in Madagascar. 





5- Thorny devil- (Moloch horridus)-
This marvelous lizard can live up to 20 years. The Thorny dragon also features a fake head on the back of its neck, and the lizard presents this to potential predators by dipping its head.






4-  Mexican mole lizard-(Bipes biporus)-
This strange looking lizard lives underground for most of its life and is usually found  in sandy areas.

  



3- Satanic leaf tailed gecko- (Uroplatus phantasticus)-
This astounding  gecko mimics  the appearance of a dead leaf. From their perfectly shaped tale to their amazing colors, veins and texture, when these guys are on a leaf they are very hard to spot.





2-  Red eyed crocodile skink - (Tribolonotus graciilis)-  This lizard is one of the few types of lizards that can vocalize. The males will fight for females.







1- Pinocchio lizard- ( Anolis proboscis)-
This lizard was thought to be extinct for the past 40 years. They're apparently meant to be very slow lizards, no one knows the use of there long nose at this point. The female Pinocchio lizards do not have a big nose.

Injured Balkan Green lizard

I was walking down the path when I spotted an injured Balkan green lizard. One of its eyes were damaged and it had big cuts on its mouth and body. I  decided to keep it until it got better, so I made it a nice place to live in.  I tried to feed it, but it wouldn't eat or drink so I left it in there.  The next morning it died  ;(  I felt very sad, I tried to dissect but it didn't work.  Interestingly,  it had 2 big grasshoppers in its stomach!

My Friend's Ball Python

Yesterday my friend brought his Ball Python to our house, her name is Slug :) She opened her mouth and tried to bite my brother! She is a very small python in length but quite fat because she was fed last week. She is going to shed her skin in 2 or 3 days. Did you know that when snakes are shedding their skin they are blind? My friend feeds her every 2 weeks with frozen rats.

Ball Pythons are from Africa but are common pets due to the fact that they are not aggressive.  Here are some facts about the ball python:

- Their life span is 20-30 years (record 48)
- They can lay up to 10 eggs
- Average incubation time: 56 days
- They eat small rodents like mice and rat

Getting ready to strike

The Warren

I went to the Warren beach again about a day ago.  I have written a post before about this place which you can see here. I found lots of fossils and breathtaking stones. My Grandad and I are planning to polish the stones and turn them into jewelry.  Here are some pictures of the fossils and stones that we collected that day.



The Warren is a county park and is recognized for having lots of different habitats and wildlife. Here is another link I found about the place.

We got up had some breakfast and went to the beach when we got to the beach we ran in the sea and swam for about an 1 hour when my mum came in the sea and said she saw a jellyfish  we ran out the sea like baby's and waited until it went after about 10 mins of waiting it finally went and we went back in the sea, we were still very scared and keeping a good look out for jellyfish we saw 3 more, 2 small ones and one big one. We got back to our guest house and went for a swim in the pool again we played in the pool for half an hour then we got out to play on our tablets, after we played on our tablets we went to bed

Agile frog

My friends and I went on a walk for snakes.  Unfortunately, we didn't find any. However we did find a beautiful Agile frog. I brought it back home to put in the pond and as soon as I put the frog  in the pond my turtle came up and grabbed the frog by its leg and started to rip the frog apart. I grabbed the turtle to try to save the frog but it was too late. The frog was dead! I ran inside to get the video camera and made a video of the dead frog after I made the video I put the turtle back and it finished eating the frog up



Here is the video a made of the dead frog.


WARNING THIS VIDEO IS A BIT GRUESOME!!!!!!!!
