Strange Pets?

~kitty~ · 08-1-2011, 10:53 PM

Have any of you wanted or had really strange pets in the past or currently? I used to take in snails as pets because for some reason I thought that they could grow up to be big enough to ride on like a horse. I wanted to use them for travelling for some reason, I don't remember why I thought that.

Well... I found a frog that had been randomly living in my room recently.

And, when I was younger, I used to eat snails.

i want a skunk as a pet so bad. i actually started doing research on what it takes to take care of a skunk then i found out that owning any exotic animal is illegal and that is when my heart sank

My housemate has a snake and a reptile licence. Marissa wants a spider, so i've been thinking about getting a rose tarantula for her for xmas when it rolls around :P

When I was a kid i kept bees in jars in my room purely cos my little brother was deadly allergic to them and it would keep him out of my junk ;D

This would be an awesome pet but annoying at the same time (apparently it's a rare species?) lol

**Mans0n** · 08-2-2011, 12:41 AM

I used to have a pet human but.....

I don't want to talk about it

**phe0nixblade** · 08-2-2011, 01:36 AM

You're not allowed to have a pet iguana? I had 2 of them growing up. Dad still has two of them, and a snake..pig..mini-pig..goat..etc
I like ferrets for pets, as well as tarantula's and OH MY ****ING GOD I WANT ANOTHER GOD DAMN CHINCHILLA. SO ****ING SOFT I COULD DIE HOLDING IT

In Cali almost every exotic animal is illegal sadly

Hmmm, I don't have any exotic pets but I work at a pet store so I've seen some pretty interesting things. Chinchillas btw, are so awesome.

**darkshark** · 08-2-2011, 02:09 AM

I have a 17 year old Royal Ball Python I got when I was 7. I've always wanted a baby sloth.

I used to have Jackson's chameleons, Brazilian rainbow boa, emperor scorpions, an octopus, and a red tegu. (I worked at an exotic reptile shop go figure)

+tons of exotic salt water fish, a few birds, blue-belly lizards I caught.

Oh yeah, and a shark

(Epaulette shark)

**phe0nixblade** · 08-2-2011, 02:09 AM

i want a penguin and a owl but those are illegal in the states period i'm pretty sure

**Cold Kitten** · 08-2-2011, 06:43 AM

I want a pet fox, a penguin, ferrets, and a KOALA. x3 Oh, and a panda. (I have bamboo in my backyard, which is what gave me the idea. xD)

**Elite Ninja** · 08-2-2011, 07:09 AM

My family used to have 4 parakeets (one for each person in the family) and we all got to name them ourselves

. That was years ago though. Now we only have two annoying beagles. I would gladly replace them with a wolf or a fox.

im ok with toddlers so i think id love the skunk ;_;

also a baby sloth would be such a badass pet

In my college accommodation there used to be this spider (about an inch.5 in length) that always stays in the corner of the toilet. Saw the guy for half a year and one day he just disappeared ):

who_cares973 · 08-3-2011, 10:49 AM

im sorry that you lost your pet spider :<

~kitty~ · 08-3-2011, 11:47 AM

I would so get a pet snail still. However, when I read about how to keep one it seems like it's a bit more work than they seem. It'll still be fun.

EDIT: Of course this kind of snail would definitely be illegal to keep as a pet in the USA.
