I have 3 large macaws, a Greenwing, a Blue & Gold, and a Harlequin (which is a hybrid Macaw). They are all likely to outlive me by a wide margin. They are all ‘rescues’ of some sort .
The thumbnail image by my moniker is the Harlequin.
I have a Crested Gecko about 7 months old, and a California King Snake who is over 4 years old. As you can see from the picture of their enclosures, they are both pretty spoiled.
Gecko’s tank is 18”L x 18”W x 24”H. It’s the X-Large Zoo Med tank. Snake’s tank is a 40 gallon with screen top and sliding glass doors in front, very convenient for taking him out.
Two bats, six cane toads, a couple of arboreal constrictors, an eight inch tarantula, an owl, a few scorpions, a half dozen parots, a family of kiskidees, a bunch of tree frogs, and about 200 dwarf geckos.
I have a big outbuilding and they all come and go as they please.
My friend had an oscar that would eat crickets out of your hand. It was massive! He also committed suicide…
+1 ( yes wives are usually high maintenance pets.
that’s only because raccoons can open cupboard doors and refrigerators to feed themselves.
All the way from South-America to me:
I have 7 guinea pigs 
Time to revive this topic. After the passing of my Rudy German Shpherd almost 3 years ago, ( and divorcing with my wife) i am possibly adopting a new dog. (er, more like a wolf) meet “Kain”
This guy is very gentle, house trained, great & friendly with children, pet cats, rabbits, other big and small dogs, can not bark, never growls, but only howls at 3:00 AM at train horns & frogs.
That's a good looking wolf!
We don't have any exotic pets, but we call our regular pets somewhat exotic names.
My dog is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi.
He's close to the ground and will overeat if given the chance, so we call him a groundhog.
My mom's cat kinda looks like a raccoon, so we call him that.
Here in Canada the only two exotic ( or banned) animals are Pit bulls, and Killer Whales. ( no, your not allowed to have a Orca as a pet here in Canada) for everything else, if you have pass the qualifications and get the proper paperwork, you can have everything from an Wolly Mammoth to a Amoeba.
Darn… no Killer Whales!! That ruins it…. 
….
That’s correct, You can own a Tiger, but not a Pit bull or a killer Whale… > In Ontario you can legally own a Tiger, but not a Pitbull.
I have heard many horror stories about pit bulls, and my mom's dog was killed by one.
So there's no love lost on that dog family from me.
Very interesting reading DBSAR, thank you for sharing that. :+1:
Sorry for derailing a bit but maybe an interesting fun fact, though:
In Alabama, USA it is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while driving a vehicle. :-D
Some more weird traffic laws in the US:
Lot of weird laws in Germany too
I totally agree with you. :+1:
Great reading Lux-Perpetua, thanks for the link!! :+1:
Being from the Great State of Alabama, I can attest it is true.
Also…. It is illegal to have an ice cream cone in your back pocket.
The 13 most bizarre Alabama laws you’ve probably never heard of.
