Halloween is almost here. 

Ten days till Halloween. I am so excited. 

My friend Sophie and I are going to be 80s Rock Stars. I ordered big circle earrings for our costume. On Halloween, we are going to a store and buy some stuff for our costume. I already have a shirt for my costume and my friend has one too. We need a skirt. So we are probably going to get one at a store. 

My brother Ezra is not going trick or treating this time. My brother is twelve, so he said he is too old to go. He is going to stay back and eat candy and play Minecraft. If you don't know what Minecraft is, it's a video game where you half to build houses, and there are monsters at night. The monsters die when it's daytime. And there's lots more to it. 

I can't wait till my costume is finished and ready to go trick or treating. My other friend Abby is not going to be with us because she is going to Chico on Halloween. She said they are not doing trick or treating in Chico. I don't know why they are not doing Halloween in Chico. 

There is a new Coyote Peterson video. The video is called."Sneaky Banana Boa".

Here is the video:

 Coyote Peterson is in Costa Rica. He is trying to find a Bromeliad Boa snake. When he found the Bromeliad Boa snake he thought it was just a Boa Constrictor snake. But it was a Bromeliad Boa snake. he had never caught one in the wild before. Coyote Peterson said the Bromeliad Boa snake is not venomous at all. He also said that the snake does not bite that much. So he put the Bromeliad Boa snake on his face to show that you don't half to be afraid of it. I Wouldn't do that at all if I were him. Because it still would get me a little scared because I don't want it to bite me at all or go in my ear. It's small enough to go in my ear. 

The color of the Bromeliad Boa snake is all brown with black dotes. Near the head, there's a black, line. The colors on the snake are very cool to see. 

Coyote Peterson was shaking a lot. He said the reason he was shaking is that he was very excited to see a Bromeliad Boa snake in the wild not because he was afraid of the snake. Coyote Peterson said the Bromeliad Boa snake eats small lizards and small frogs. The snake is a very good balancer when it's up in trees. The Bromeliad Boa snake can constrict their prey. Any insects that come around the snake will be eaten by the snake.

 Coyote Peterson said where they get their name Bromeliad Boa snake is from hiding in plants like the Bromeliads. I never knew that Bromeliad were plants. 

The females grow a bit larger than the males do. The snake was about two feet in length. Coyote Peterson said the snake was the maximum size. 

It's pretty cool that the Bromeliad Boa snake can constrict their prey. 

There is a new Coyote Peterson video. The video is called."Can a Snake Cure Fear"

Here is the video:

Coyote Peterson is in Redwood Park, California. Coyote Peterson is trying to find a Rubber Boa snake. He found a Rubber Boa snake under a log. It is not venomous at all. Coyote Peterson said the Rubber Boa snakes tail looks just like their head. So let's say an animal sees the snakes tail and it will think it is the head of the snake. He said the Rubber Boa feels just like rubber. The snake sometimes goes into mice burrows and eats baby mice. But if the mother is there than the Rubber Boa with its tail it will use its tail like a boxing glove and it will whap, whap, whap. And it fights off the mother.  The color of the snake is black on its back and its bright orange on the belly side.

 The Rubber Boa snake eats baby mice or baby voles. Baby voles look just like mice.

I really wish that I had a snake to take care of. I love snakes so much. When I started watching Coyote Peterson he would do these snake videos and I would always watch them. When he did do snake videos I didn't really care for snakes but know I do because I never knew how cool looking they are with the colors on them and their eyes are very cool to see. The more I watch Coyote Peterson catch snakes the more I really want to catch snakes. I am not afraid of snakes. The fear of snakes is called ophidiophobia. 

There is a new Coyote Peterson video. The video is called."Blue Tongue Skink".

Here is the video:

Coyote Peterson is in Meandarra Queensland Australia. Coyote Peterson is looking for a Blue Tongue Skink. He is working with two animal specialists, Lockie and Max. The Blue Tongue Skinks are not venomous at all. Coyote Peterson said where they get their name is from their blue tongue. The blue tongue is very big. Coyote Peterson found a Blue Tongue Skink. At first, he thought it was a snake because of their back it's so scally just like a snake. They move like a snake too. Their color is all white with black swerve lines and a light cream ish brown. It looks really cool with their colors.

 Their tongue is so blue. The Blue Tongue Skink has very sharp claws. It feeds on little insects and sometimes plants. The Blue Tongue Skink that Coyote Peterson found was little over one foot long. 

These skinks are omnivores,

These skinks are ovoviviparous, which means they give birth to live young. Instead of eggs. They give birth to two to six baby skinks at a time. 

The males get a bit bigger than females.   

There is a new Coyote Peterson video. The video is called." Exploring for Cave Creatures".

Here is the video:

Coyote Peterson is in Lewisburg West Virginia.looking for a Cave Salamander. Coyote Peterson said the Cave Salamanders are rare because they are very fragile and you can only find one in a cave. The Cave Salamander can breathe through its skin. The Cave Salamander has a very cool looking color. Their color is all orange with black dots and its pretty. Coyote Peterson said the Cave Salamanders are getting healthy water. Coyote Peterson said it's very dangerous to be in a cave because the cave can collapse down. So Mario is on the outside because if the cave collapses he could go and get help. Only Coyote Peterson and Mark are going in the cave. They had to crawl in the cave. After a while. They could stand up in the cave. The water was up to their ankles. There were lots of spiders all around them so you had to be careful where you put your hand on. What the Cave Salamander eats is baby spiders and Mites and Worms and anything that is crawling in the cave.
