ZIPLOCK ARMOR, fish, and lizards

Now this is one ANIMAL I will keep. He is dress in his Ziploc Armor. He has on his Breast Plate and his Helmet. Now he is ready to go to battle. As a parent you have to train them while they are young. Ready for battle.

 

8/14/13...Just about to go to bed and the doorbell rings. Odd this late. We go to check it and there is a goldfish sitting there. His name "was" Kris. We put him in a bowl and filled the rest with tap water. Brady was excited and we were going to get some food the next morning. By morning Kris had passed...probably from poisonous tap water (hard metals and some chlorine for the little fish was not so good for it). Mom kills another animal.....ooops!

 

 

 On 8/20/13 we decided not to take a lizard as a pet. He was running across our entryway. The kids started screaming. I thought it was odd to find a lizard in the house. We learned it is a "Common House Gecko" and they are normally found in the house. The kids wanted to keep it as a pet but I said NO (Actually I was thinking that I didn't want to break their hearts after I killed the next pet!). I also didn't want to find insects for the lizard to eat. Well they let him go out into a close field so he would not be tempted to come back into our house.

  "The Common House Gecko, scientific name Hemidactylus frenatus, is a native of southeastern Asia. It is also known as the Pacific house gecko, the Asi...an house gecko, or simply, the house lizard. Most geckos are nocturnal, hiding during the day and foraging for insects at night. They can be seen climbing walls of houses and other buildings in search of insects attracted to porch lights, hence their name "House Gecko". Spread around the world by ships, these geckos are now common in the Deep South of the United States, large parts of tropical and sub-tropical Australia, and many other countries in South and Central America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. They grow to a length of between three to six inches (about 7.5–15 cm), and live for about five years. These small geckos are non-venomous and harmless to humans. "See More
