Who else has "odd" pets?

Rats are great pets. Some consider them odd.

In addition to the dogs & cats we have over twenty tarantulas of eight or nine different species. Not the most cuddly critters but damn interesting & some of them are quite beautiful. I also have a family member working me to take a Bearded Dragon and that may just happen. All of the above eat crickets so WTH... Originally Posted by AgaveOnApril20

Trust me lol and their easy to handle even tho they look prickly what's a few more crickets? I'm sure you have an extra heat lamp or two.

Seriously anything you can do they can do, it's crazy. We also found out there was no locking Jammer in a dog crate. They collapse their spine and can fit in a few inches. You can't even lock them in a room they unlock it and come out.

I have 10 lizards with plans for more, as well as other types of animals. My home is my sanctuary. If any choose to come there, they accept that my pets live there; they don't. I take being a responsible exotic animal enthusiast VERY seriously, and abhor those who use their animals to shock or frighten others. That said, my pets have just as much of a right to come out with me as any dog does with anyone else, and I am quick to take a stand for and fight for reptile owner rights.
