After the April 23rd show we received a number of comments and questions from Mrs. Foux's second grade class. We're going to post and answer as many as possible right here on the blog. If you sent us a comment or question, click on the comments link below this post to see if yours is here. It might take a few days for me to answer them all, so keep checking back.
Ananth asked:
ReplyDeleteDo the sea snakes have gills? Do lizards eat any biger bugs than a beetle?
Ananth,
ReplyDeleteSea snakes don't have gills and must come to the surface to breath. However, they can hold their breath for a long time.
Lizards usually eat just about any bugs that will fit in their mouths. The bigger the mouth, the bigger the bugs!

ReplyDeleteI loved your snake show! It was very cool. When did you start collecting snakes?! How many snakes are there in the world. My favorite was the corn snake. I like the turtle too. I like snakes too a lot.
Aliya,
ReplyDeleteI started keeping snakes when I was very young--about five years old.
You can read about my very first snake in the very first post here on my blog:
