    Exotic pets

    Have you ever considered owning or do you own an exotic pet?

    I've considered obtaining a caiman for a pet. They are kept as pets more commonly than traditionally thought, one example being a Japanese man that keeps one in his home; he even walks it outside on a leash:

    They are still capable of taking your arm off.

    I currently own a small snake, but I want an animal that is large and capable of attacking intruders(or at least capable of scaring them away even if it does nothing). While a caiman may not be as trainable to the extent that a dog is, they can and will attack someone if they feel a threat or see a potential prey item.

    Other considerations include:

    -green anacondas
    -perentie goannas
    -reticulated pythons
    -American alligators (potentially more dangerous than, but less aggressive than most caimans)
    -turkey vultures (highly intelligent, very trainable, and delightfully disgusting)
    -king cobras (very intelligent for a snake)
    The unnecessary felling of a tree, perhaps the growth of centuries, seems to me a crime little short of murder." ~ Thomas Jefferson

    I smuggled a painted map turtle across state lines because aquatic turtles are illegal in Oregon. His name was Batman and he was a great turtle. My ex girlfriend's dad let him outside and got drunk and lost him.


    I'm through with owning pets of all sorts, now. They're too messy, and I have a hard enough time taking care of myself.

      I once owned an Iguana. Land lord made me get rid of him. It was an angry Iguana.
