Reptile's Eyes - A Classroom Kid's Game On Squidoo

For The Kids...

Sometimes I live in groups, but sometimes I live alone,
-I always find that soft mud, makes the perfect home.

At night I hide and sleep, but get warmed by the sun at day,
-my territory I try to keep, other Bog Turtles away.

My diet includes some bugs, some moss, some grass and slugs,
-my food I never roast, but it's insects I need the most.

I heard I taste good too, so this is what I do,
-when predators come around, I bury myself in the ground.

I always try my best, to make me a real good nest,
-by digging with both of my legs, a nice hole to hide my eggs.

For The Kids...

I live in the deserts of Australia, where food is hard to find,
-I only eat plants and bugs, but can't seem to make up my mind.

When I am young I eat more bugs, roaches, crickets and worms,
-But the older I get, I change my diet, I don't like the way they squirm.

The older dragons, like myself, just a little past our teens,
-enjoys a diet with fewer bugs, that has a lot more greens.

I'll make a good pet and be your friend, but to bugs I'm really feared,
-so never scare me and you won't see, this dragon's frightful beard.

So if your choosing a pet, that you won't regret,
-then take the time to see,
-though my tail is not waggin, there is no better dragon,
-so take good care of me.

For The Kids...

I live around creeks, and watery land,
-where I feed upon fish, and sunbathe in the sand,

Teeth I have many, but friends just a few,
-don't get too close, cause I'll even eat you.

I'll build me a nest, on a watery shore,
-and there I'll lay eggs, till I can't lay no more.

-my eggs I'll protect, and when the shells break,
-I'll help my baby crocs, get down to the lake.

Down at the water, I won't teach them to swim,
-they already know how, It's kind of built in.

They know how to hide from the predators around,
-they'll hide in small places, and never be found.

They''ll grow bigger and bigger with each passing day,
-they'll feed upon fish, and eggs they will lay.

For The Kids...

Legs and arms I have none, and to smell I use my tongue,
-I'll catch a meal and the day is done, now open wide cause here it comes.

Different colors even blue, I even blend in with the background too,
-I can also catch a mouse or shrew, and shake my tail ... how 'bout you?

Some are called king, and some of us can fly,
-we don't have any wings, but some of us still try.

All of the places I live are nice, I like the places where I can catch mice,
-to play with me, you better think twice, the places I don't like all have ice.

For The Kids...

I drift through the water, to find a frog,
-I hope that he thinks I'm just a log.

My fingers and toes are webbed, and they help me swim along,
-and when I use my tail, I know I can't go wrong.

When I am really small, I have these yellow rings,
-they don't anything at all, it's just a childhood thing.

But they slowly disappear, a little more everyday,
-and when their all gone, my predators become my prey.

When I am fully grown, my size just can't be beat,
-from the end of my tail to my nose, can measure 16 feet.

For The Kids...

My tail has spiny scales, that never even twitch,
-but I think it could hurt real bad, if I ever get an itch.

I lay my eggs like many, In a comfy little nest,
-I lay just about twenty, and as a mother I'll do my best.

When I am still very small, It's insects that I eat,
-but when I grow much older, I get tired of all the meat.

Though insects are good to eat, I have to be in the mood,
-now that I have some age, I'd rather have green food.

Some people make us pets, and you can if you wanna,
-but a better pet for you, is called the Green Iguana.
