| This morning, I was looking through pictures of when I went to Arizona for my eighth birthday. I found a picture of a snake and one of a lizard, I really wanted to know what type of snake it was (I found the snake picture first). At first I thought it was a diamond back rattle snake but ruled it out when I zoomed in to the tail and found no rattle. So I climbed up to my loft, grabbed my reptiles and amphibians book, flipped through the pages restlessly to find snakes, and finally found them. The snake was a gopher snake and the lizard was a common collared lizard. Both of which I had never seen before Arizona! I really hope I can go for my twelfth birthday! (I am still eleven) Collared lizard: . Three to five inches . Blue, yellow, white, black and teal . Basks on rocks to keep warm Gopher snake: . Thirty to 110 inches . Tan, brownish red dorsal blotches and black . Scales are keeled . A good climber and burrower |

Soon you'll be snake hunting on the farm, wonder what you'll find there.
