Exotic pets

[Mummy0220]

Hi everyone.

I've just been scrolling though the pet topics and it's dominated by 'normal' mammals. Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters etc.

So here's your Exotic animal thread. We don't currently have any at home except a tortoise which belongs to my partners business but is enjoying the garden for the summer.

Partners business is an exotic pet shop so all reptiles and amphibians with some insects and spiders too.

Share your Exotic pets 😊

I have stag beetle larvae incubating as they are protected and the birds keep eating them outdoors

Dont let my cat hear you say she is not exotic

@DogsSausages I also have "exotic" cats 🤣

Tortoise 🐢 🥰

He is my favourite pet and we have quite a few including a dog, two guinea pigs, and parrots, but our Russian tortoise boy is my absolute favourite. Tortoises make the best pets

We have a crested gecko. I love him although the rest of my family think I’m crazy 😝

I have a savanna cat rescue. Not in UK though. Also a Macaw.

My kids like lizards.

Thus the username.

They have mostly different kinds of geckos, and a tortoise. There was a chameleon, but she died recently. She was 6, which is pretty respectable for a female yemen.

We also have a Crestie, he’s very handsome and no trouble at all I really want some frogs

Ive always loved tortoises and they do make excellent pets. Providing you house them and feed them properly and take care to hibernate them they can live for many years. The advantage is that they are quiet, dont need to be taken for walks, and are easy to keep clean. They can also be fascinating to watch in summer when they try to mate with one another or sometimes various objects! I had a very randy male tortoise when I was a kid and he would try mounting a house brick or even a roller skate. Hours of fun.
