Prisoners like to have pets too...
I'm writing this about pets because I have read blogs that my sister writes sometimes about their new puppy, and the things he does while growing from puppy to dog. So reading her blog, made me want to say a blittle about the pets that some of the guys have in here. Yes, some prisoners have pets.
Now the most popular pets in here are lizards. The owners of the lizards will walk around the dorm and the yard with the lizard just kicking back on their shoulder. It's kind of funny looking. But one thing that's good about the lizards is it keeps the flys down in our dorms. The lizard owners go around catching flies and putting them in jars. Then they'll take the wings off of the flies and feed them to their lizards. My neighbor's lizard's name is "spike".
My other neighbor has a big green praying mantis that is really cool. It eats crickets and big bumble bees. When you pick it up, it just turns its alien looking head right at you. It's kind of a trip.
And last but not least, and new to our pet family her in the dorm I'm in, is a pretty big tarantula. They caught it yesterday. And it's about the size of a silver dollar not counting the legs. It's really mellow and will just crawl right on your hand.
