I've owned many pets.
Dogs and cats are always common but I've had my share of exotics too that were cool to own.

ex.)
-Rainbow Tail Boa
(7.5 ft long w/ a width girth of 3 ft in diameter.)

-Black Mexican King Snake
(Which bit me on my wrist due to me being stupid carrying my snake while playing around with its food a mouse on the other arm.)

-Green Iguana

-Bearded Dragon Lizard

-Millipede
(Which is kinda like a cross between a centipede with its many legs and a pill bug where it can roll up into a ball. Really neat.)

etc.

    I don't know that you'd consider them exotic, but I owned 2 angora rabbits, I have 7 cockatiels, and I owned a baby squirrel.

    Alligator, Raccoon, Barbado sheep, shrew, opossum, a few snakes,ect. I grew up in the country. If it crawled, swam, slithered, or flew, I probably found and injured one and kept it.

    My kids have four ferrets. :indifferent:

    When I was 19 I had a big fat hairless rat.. He was actually pretty chill, he'd hang out on the poker table while we played cards. lol

    I'm big on snakes. Nothing too wild, though. Just a garter snake.
    Also Pacu. (Legal piranha. haha).

    Aww.. I love those, but I've never seen one in a pet shop.
    I have a ragdoll cat that is pretty exotic here considering there is only one breeder in the country and I had to wait 6months for her.

    I've had multiple parrots and several ferrets. That's about as exotic as my pets have gotten. :)

    My fiancé has an emperor scorpion. I'm considering rats or ferrets when I have time to train them.

    I really hope that is a typo and you mean "found an injured one" LOL

    Ferrets :) wish I still had them.
