I realize Betta fish, Garter Snakes, Tarantulas and Scorpions aren't exactly "exotic" but at one point I've owned a couple Pacu. Basically legal Piranha.

Just curious about your slimy/scaly friends.

    <--- fish nerd. I've owned pretty much everything you can own (at one point had over 30 tanks, including a shark/ray pond/pool)
    various reptiles and snakes. Had a pair of sulcata tortoises and a few boas and pythons.

    Oh, and I once had 8 peking ducks.

    These probably aren't exotic but I've had red eared slider turtles that were rescues. I've also had just about every other normal pet you could imagine. I also had a speckled king snake that I rescued out of my cat's mouth ... would probably still have him except I went to bed one night, woke up in the middle of the night & looked at his tank, and he was gone. Searched the room high & low that same night. Searched the house. Never found him. Not sure if he found a damn good hiding spot and maybe escaped back into the wild or if one of my cats got him. Also have a variety of saltwater fish.

    & You didn't ask but I'm telling anyways ...

    My dream exotic pets would be a python (albino especially), opossum, red fox, white tiger (or any tiger or big cat) and/or a raccoon. If you couldn't tell by now, I'm one of those nutty animal lovers that is willing to rescue anything. You'll probably see me on Fatal Attractions within the next 10 years. JK! I'm not THAT crazy.

    I think the most exotic I've had were probably bearded dragons and flying squirrels. XD

    If you have a small hole in your foundation that you don't plug, animals will fall through it and live with you. Every time I go down there I feel like Ace Ventura.

    I've had chinchillas before. They were pretty damn awesome.

    This is Mistress. She's our 7' Jungle Carpet Python

    I don't have any at home, worked as a naturalist for a number of years and took care of a corn snake, a box turtle and a spiny soft shell turtle. The turtles were rescues.
