Show us your unusual pet. No dogs cats birds or fish.

Anybody have anything beside your standard dog, cat, bird or fish?

Accidentally deleted.

The fox isn't nearly as difficult as the website mentioned out.
The people I spoke to keep them in their homes
They can be easily litter trained. They knew of nobody who would dare leave one outside other than in a dog run.

I might get one, who knows.

We used to have an Iguana named Otto. Fabulous pet. We even potty trained him. He was six feet long and never lost his tail. He could HURT you with it too.

I had a toucan that was taken away from me because of a nosy, old bat, neighbor.

I had about a 5 foot iguana when I was a teenager.
I remember taking it on a plane from LA to Phoenix. I hid it in a pillow case and put it under the seat.
About halfway into the trip, I caught it just in time before it escaped out of the pillow case.
I've often wondered what would have happened had my five foot iguana gotten loose on an L-1011 at 3am in a very dark plane.

Owned a 5 foot iguana and a 6 foot ball python in college. Both lived in my dorm room.

They were great pets.

Sadly no pics, but I had an Oregon newt. I was fond of that newt.

Its the thing on the left...

She cost a lot, but I think she was worth it. All she does though is eat, sleep and poop. Not very entertaining!

At my parents suburban house in australia they have about 5 or 6 blue tongue lizards, 2 possum's and king parrots, Lorrikeets, Cockatoo's and Rosella's visit every day. Who needs pets when you have nature's visitors!

A 6 foot scrub python has taken up residence under some rocks next to my swimming pool (we live on acreage adjoining rainforest). Not exactly tame but it's nice watching it sun itself every morning, I get within touching distance (quietly!) without spooking the snake. I've named him (her?) Monty. I guess once it's named it's halfway to being a pet.................
