My Ninja Gecko
I asked my dad for a new pet. He said, "We'll have to talk to mom." Mom said, "You'll have to show me you can take care of it. You can change the litter box for the next three weeks." Week one: Changed Max's litter. Week two: Changed Max's litter. Week three: Changed Max's litter--Yay!! Let's go!!
Step One: We researched the pros and cons of popular kids pets.
Step Two: We decided on a Leopard Gecko (I almost chose the Corn Snake).
Step Three: Pet Store
Step Four: Set up habitat.
Step Five: Get Ninja Gecko used to his new home.

Extreme Weather

Tornadoes are one of the most dangerous types of weather, so listen for tornado warnings. Tornadoes form from thunderstorm clouds called "super cells." They sound like ten or twenty trains going by all at once! The inside of a tornado is like a huge vacuum cleaner. It sucks up anything that gets in its way.
Hurricanes are another one of the most dangerous types of weather, so again it is important to listen for warnings. Hurricanes are bigger than tornadoes, but the wind speeds are weaker. Hurricanes form over water while tornadoes form over land.

Here is a storm chasing video of a F5 that touched down in Joplin, Missouri. Storm chasers are kind of crazy. It is very dangerous work, and they have lots of weather tools that help them predict where and when a super cell is likely to form a tornado, but people without equipment should not try to be storm chasers because a tornado can change directions and grow very quickly:

Saving a Snake
Look Closely! |
I found a garter snake in my yard. It was hurt! I took it into my house, and I kept it overnight. In the morning, we were going to let it go, but we decided it needed some more time to heal. Look at the pictures. You can see it was injured after eating a mouse. The mouse's leg is sticking out of the snake's body!
Slimy Snake Secrets
Lots of people think snakes are slimy, but they are not. They are smooth.
Some snakes are venomous and harmful to humans, but garter snakes are not.
Many people call these garden snakes, but they are actually garter snakes. The full name is Western Terrestrial Garter Snake. Watch the short clip below of another family finding some of these snakes while hiking.
