Exotic Pets / Pets out of the "Norm"

Red tailed boas are by far one of my favorite looking snakes.. If they didn't get so big I would have one in a heartbeat.. Maybe one day when i have more room

 

To each his own.

On pets I'm a little odd I guess, if it's not friendly & furry I can't "relate" to it as a pet. Guess I'm a dog guy.

 

What does "reticulated" mean?

Mainly just dogs when I was younger, and cats. Still have 2 cats, had 3 till a couple passed away.

I've had a pet rat, hamster, rabbit, parakeet.

I know I'll get shit for it here but I am deathly afraid of snakes. Never had any experience or anything, just always been terrified of em.

 

I've got Indian star tortoises, Burmese black tortoises, leopard tortoise, albino boa and a beardie. I was really big into tegus and monitors but it's hard to keep those with as busy as I am

Agreed but no posts since 2011.


So far exotic I have an iguana. Just a few months old now but it's the 2nd one I've had. Did have an albino leopard gecko but it died. Thus now and iguana. Would post pics but no clue how nor time to try right now. Possibly after much needed rock therapy.

 

I miss my columbian red tail also. Beautiful snake, easy to handle.

 

roomate in college had a family of hedge hogs and a prarie dog. both were adorable/fun/awesome little animals, however both caused a decent amount of pain on multiple ocasions as well

 

Reticulated refers to the pattern. I keep mostly just snake, I have 20-30 ball pythons different morph, pytas mucosus, pytas carinatus, female albino prairie rattlesnake, male het albino prairie rattlesnake, saw scale viper, puff adder, pair of southern copperheads, pair of ornate cantils, 18 foot normal reticulated python, 17 foot tiger reticulated python, monocle cobra, 6 foot indonisan x Chinese king cobra and a 2 foot Asian water monitor.

 

Hey guys lets see more pics.

 

If you say so... lol

 

You seem to like reptiles

My brothers desert monitor decided to eat its tail (just the tip ) any idea why? He is far from starved.

 

not just reptiles but all the pets I've had/have in the past 3 years lol i like strange pets

 

Great pics. The raccoon is awsome. I like the boas enclouser. Do you still have all the reptiles and the raccoon?

 

I raised and released the coons we had three until they were full grown it was awesome. I'd keep one permanently if I could I had an airborne virus that took out all of monitors and tegus. Right now I've got a boa a beardie and all of my tortoises and my dog lol

 

Here are a few pics I have from my phone

King cobra


Asian water monitor


Reticulated python


Suphan cobra

 

I need to get a bigger place so I can get more stuff and get some more hot stuff. I've had a Carolina copperhead and a canebreak I might have pics I'll have to look

 

Canbreaks are nice looking snakes. My copperheads are nuts they musk a lot. I have some banded rock rattlesnakes that are really cool looking.

 

Mine was actually quite docile just didn't like snake tongs. It did better being hand held. The canebrake was insane though

 

Awhile back I had a Blue Fronted Amazon parrot. He/She looked like this guy (my pictures aren't anywhere as good as this one)


Unless you have the bird sexed it's next to impossible to say what their sex is. I called him a boy, but I really didn't know. The bird was crazy smart. For example he would only say "good morning" before breakfast. After that he said different things depending on his mood. Then at twilight he'd start saying "good night" until you put the cover over his cage. You could tell who taught him to say something because he sounded just like them.

BUT

He was a complete pain the the ass when it came to a pet. If the mood struck him he could screech so loud the wall paper would come off the walls. There was next to nothing that would get him to STFU. And do you see that beak? Yes that SOB could and would bite you for no reason. We are talking break the skin kind of biting. Did you know that birds poop? Did you know that big birds poop big poops? Yup, they do do-do when ever they fill the need. Oh, and best of all when he flaps his wings in the cage seed shells, and feather dust, and down, and bedding, and those beautiful feathers that are a sight to behold are blown in every nook and cranny of your house. Let's not even get started on what happens when he takes a bath in his water dish.

I loved that bird, but I WILL NEVER have one again.
