My beardie seems so lonely and wondering if theres a reptile to go with him?
None, I'm afraid.
Male beardies are territorial. He may look lonely, but just remember they won't be in close proximity to another lizard in the wild 24/7.
Snakes, lizards, tarantulas and giant cockroaches captured the imaginations of students at E. Hale Curran Elementary School in Murrieta when they visited the campus recently.
Animal handler Sandee Gee of Dana Point, owner of Full Spectrum Educational Services , brought an array of unusual critters to school to share with students at assemblies held throughout the day on Feb. 10. Gee spoke about each animal's habitat, where it is from and what it likes to eat.
And, best of all, the students had the opportunity to touch many of the animals, including a turtle, a tortoise and a nine-foot-long albino Burmese python.
"She's really big. You can all pet her at the same time," Gee told a group of kindergartners and first-graders who lined up to touch the huge, yellow-colored python named Goldilocks. Several students stood in a line and joined together to hold up the heavy python for photos while also touching it gently.
Other students were a little shy about touching some of the animals. As Gee's assistant, Jan Rumble, walked around the room showing the students a smaller ball snake (named for the way it curls up in a ball as a defense mechanism), first-grader Roby Hughes blurted out, "I do not want to touch that."
