"Sugar
and spice and everything nice, ," remember that old nursery
rhyme? Obviously whoever wrote it was never a Girl Guide! A Girl
Guide is just as likely to identity with "snakes and snails
and puppy dog tails." She's the kind of girl who would happily
pick up a snake or a frog, because Guiding gives her opportunities
to try things that are traditionally considered "for boys."
And the effect on girls of coming into contact with these amazing
creatures can he pretty amazing stuff." |

They will learn about the diet, growth, habitat, and behavior of these wonderful creatures. Seasons Each season has characteristic weather patterns that affect reptiles and amphibians. We will discuss the many ways our animals cope with these changes and draw parallels to human activities. Pets Reptiles and amphibians are often kept as pets; however, they are usually not cared for properly. We can teach the girls about proper diet, handling, housing, and hygiene.
