Native to Austrailia, Sampson is 
a desert dweller who eats greens, 
vegetables, and crickets. His 
tank is keep with temperatures 
between 110 and 75 degrees. He is 
very social, well behaved and 
well loved by the students.
Sampson was born on 6/03/05 at 
Sunshine Dragons in Pennsylvania 
(www.sunshinedragons.com)
and can live upto 10 years or 
more. This year we have upgrade 
his home to a 75 gallon terrarium.

Rosie and Pinky

Rosie and Pinky are our 2 
tarantulas.  Rosie is a Chilian 
Rose Hair tarantula and Pinky is 
a Guyana Pinktoe tarantula. Both 
are South American spiders but do 
not live in the same areas in the 
wild and therefore have 
separate homes in the classroom.  
Rosie is a terrestrial species 
living on the ground and she 
spends a greatdeal of time in her 
flower pot.  Pinky is an arboreal 
spider building canopy or tunnel 
like webs in the trees.  Both eat 
live crickets and are quite 
beautiful.

Sandfire

Sandfire is an adult male corn 
snake.  Corn snakes are a 
temperate species who are 
happiest when the temperature is 
70 degrees. In the wild they are 
often found near farms and under 
pine branches. Sandfire spends 
his days peeking out from his 
hiding cave or moving around his 
40 gallon tank, checking out what 
is going on in the classroom.  He 
is a member of the constrictor 
family and eats mice. He is very 
docile and easily handled. 

Other Fish - gold gourami

Other Fish is a fairly good sized 
fish and presently shares a tank 
with Larry.  He is a large enough 
fish that Larry does not consider 
him food yet. At some point Other 
Fish will need to move into a new 
tank but for now he and Larry are 
very happy together.

Kermit

Kermit is our purple pincher 
hermit crab. And has been in the 
classroom for over a year. He 
lives in a mixture of 
ground coconut shavings and sand 
with lots of things to climb on 
as well as extra shells to move 
into when he grows out of his.  
He has a salt bath and 
drinking water and spend most of 
his days sleeping dug down into 
the sand.
