You Can Legally Own
http://www.PetsGroomingTips.com

Some people just don’t have the
stomach for the usual cat and
mouse animals, but prefer the
challenge and thrill of owning
something unique & rather eye
catching. It’s a great way to feed
your exotic animal fetish and
hobby-ish nature. If you ever
thought owning some exotic pets
would be a colossal nightmare in
care and possession, you would be
surprised to know that the animals
mentioned below are actually
being kept as pets.

Bearded Dragon Lizard
The dragon lizard, tends to look like something out of The Hobbit
but in reality, they are one of the gentlest reptiles out there.
Despite their looks and being very strange animals, they love to be
fondled and enjoy the occasional misty showers. Often kept in
glass aquariums, they are diurnal i.e. stay up during day and sleep
at night. So you can watch them when you’re awake! Dragon
lizards show great temperaments and can be handled so well, in
fact even children can play them as well! Supervised of course.

Chinchilla
The Chinchilla’s make a really good house pet for the average
small family. The name though, sounds more like a Mexican drink
off the bar. Keeping that Mexican energy note, these rodents are
perky little energy balls making good pets for for teens and above.
Being light weight and very fragile, the Chinchilla’s zip like flash if
left loose in the house. They are however very sensitive to, too
tight of grips and can bite if provoked. The good part of these best
pets, is their thick layer of fur and hardly any sound. Proving to be
some excellent low maintenance pets.

Hedgehog
They make rather unusual pets in appearance, People often
mistake these intelligent and small animals as a ‘Hole creator’ in
their hands. Forgetting they only stiffen their spines when they
feel threatened. Otherwise, they are a humble and strictly mind
their own business pets, easily comparable to hamsters. Despite
their sensitivity to surroundings, Hedgehogs are usually shy
creatures. They tend to develop good personality, through greater
owner interaction, requiring a lot of time and commitment.
Expect to bond with your pet like you would with an infant.

Crocodile
Unlike lizards, which are tamed and less harmful, crocodiles tend
be the same up until they are the same size. They eventually grow
out their enclosures and require more space and food as size and
age increases exponentially. You can never turn your back on a
crocodile and keeping this reptile is a specialist job undoubtedly.

Fish Piranha
Piranhas are very feisty carnivorous fast moving fish. If you’re into
gentle fish love loving nature, then piranhas are not meant for
you. Usually they are the wolves of the river, normally hunting in a
pack. So, if you’re planning on getting some unique pets as
piranhas, get three and above. Oh yeah! Don’t go on feeding them
with your hand, piranhas love hunting live fish, though they never
say no to the occasional worms and insects. However, piranhas do
require maintenance, proving to be very messy eaters and not
really the best pets for kids .

Scorpion
Before I even begin, scorpions hold a lot of physiological power
that comes associated with their sight. Astrologically – Often
resembling strength, is a strong reason for owners to keep as their
preferred best exotic pets. Scorpions can sting from their stinger,
and definitely hurt their owners. Unlike others, scorpions are a
definite no show for children, requiring expert care and handling
from experienced individuals. Despite their unappealing looks,
scorpions can be found easily in various pet shops.

Boa Constrictor Snake
Unlike most snakes of the world, Boas are constrictors that means
they are large and non-poisonous and kill through strangling
around their prey. Despite being weird pets, they are quite
popular animals among enthusiasts. Boas tend to grow past the 5
feet mark, more depending on the species. Considering the size,
the weight will grow accordingly as much. Since Boas are amazon
based, the enclosures for them are required to be high and
heated to best mimic their natural habitat.

Mexican Red-Legged Tarantula
Though many would call them creepy and run away instantly,
Tarantulas and in specific the Mexican Red-legged one is one very
beginner species kept in captivity for pet use. There striking
features are vibrant orange knees contrasted with a black body.
They show good temperament, and usually like to run away as the
first line of defense. Despite being docile, they tend to be a little
skittish at times and can show aggression if provoked.

Madagascar Hissing Cockroach
You have got to be kidding me? These things can be pets. Not
happening in my world. But hey look at this way, they will replace
dogs as the most loyal pet post a nuclear holocaust, since they can
survive one. The cockroach, despite its displeasing appearance is
quite popular among enthusiast for being docile and hardy in
nature. Having a strong exoskeleton, allows for it to be tough as
well, thank God it doesn’t have any wings, otherwise it would
have definitely taken over the world.

Green Iguana
Another reptile on the list, we are pleased to inform you which
doesn’t move so soften. Having a very slow moving speed will
almost make it appear to be a plastic model. You will find the
iguana usually spending time relaxing, sun basking and watching
you with its deep spooky eyes. What a surprise, their
Herbivorous! I thought Godzilla’s distant cousin would be a meat
eater. Looks like being vegan is the new fad even among reptiles!

Hermit Crab
If girls remember the crab Sebastian from Ariel, they will
definitely want one in the form of the Hermit Crab, they make
excellent first pets to be kept in an aquarium for children. But be
advised, marine life is very sensitive and requires precision care.
Though you will find loads in your local pet shop, once bought you
do need them to be in a large enough aquarium for optimal
comfort and prevention from imminent death through
suffocation. Hermit Crabs require high levels of humidity in their
enclosure which is usually not maintained.

Bush Baby
Nothing can be more aww inspiring than gazing in those deep
brown eyes. This tree dwelling marsupial from Africa is very agile
and made for the tree branches. The last thing these small
animals will expect is a small tight cage to be in. Bush Baby’s
require wide open branched type areas to live in their own with
the least stress. Though most house owners are not able to
provide the environment. It’s advised this animal stays in the zoo,
where it can’t be endangered.

Southern Tamandua
If you have a backyard with an infestation of a lot of ant and
termite mounds, well in that case there can be no better natural
exterminator than the Southern Tamandua, basically an anteater.
Anteaters are very cute looking, from their pencil necked pointy
faced cuddliness. Trust me, if you had a dog lick you, the
Tamandua’s tongue will be longer than expected and make your
face sticky as a glue stick. They are very attention seeking animals
and show varying moods if neglected.

Flying Squirrel (Sugar Glider)
If you have an admiration for squirrels, a glider version will be
even better. These marsupials love to run on their wheel.
Considering the environmental policy, a permit is required if you
wish to own this type of animal. No matter the diet, the glider
requires fresh fruits and nuts for healthy functioning. Their high
metabolism requires nutrient rich food, which can be found in
only fresh foods. They make very good pets but if you really want
to see them glide, let them climb high up and then see them glide
to the next tree.

Kinkajou (Flower Bear)
Hailing from the rain forests of central South America, the
kinkajou comes from the raccoon family. So expect them to be the
annoying types and give you a headache if not acquainted with.
Considered to be very exotic and bred for private use, the
kinkajou tent to be rather friendly. Even though they are solitary,
they are vocal animals. So expect the house to be running a bit
high on volume. People consider them to be very social and
specially their interaction with their owners. Kinkajou love having
fresh fruits, figs, and flower nectar.

Chanterelle Fennec
Unlike other foxes, the Fennec is a very small fox species, but sits
very comfortably in between a big cat and a small dog. The exotic
animal can be enjoyed by the entire family and expect itself to
show the same alertness and excitement as of a cat and the same
fun and playfulness as that of a very active dog. They are full of
energy creatures that are going to tire you out. So expect to share
some time and muscle power with your pet.

Mini Donkey
A mini donkey is a very funny, comical and affectionate joy to
own. Having a bad reputation for being dumb is not the case here,
as they boast a solid memory that they use to build lasting
relationships with their owners for obvious reasons like any pet
animal – attention. Like any donkey, they are however very
stubborn and will not do what is required, if they are not in the
mood. Being quite animals, other than the occasional ‘he haw’ is
heard. Mini donkeys are popular animals as they make good pets
for kids due to their size and gentle nature.

Pygmy Goats
The Pygmy Goat is a hardy, good-natured animal; a gentle and
responsive pet, that loves to be with its own kind. So it’s advisable
to get a couple whenever possible. Pygmy goats can be small
enough to fit in a normal size bag and are the best pets for kids to
play with and have a good time with. This little small package of
energy will tire you with endless climbing games. Having an
addition of a turtle along with it will establish the perfect fairy tale
example for your children.
