Exotic pets

[Barcon]

No don't think we did, not that it really matters. They were relatively juvenile so were 30 each, I think. Almost 20 years ago.

Think most of the dragons at that age had missing limbs or shorter tails. Probably too many in each cage.

Do they grow back?

Do they grow back?

Not in bearded dragons no. But they can manage to wriggle along without it.

Would affect their ability to climb and perch on upright logs of course.

If you are really into it, and have the budget and space, I'd go for an older one.

Water dragons are much cooler though.

Can't remember how long they can live.

Expensive energy costs now. An old colleague told me that their energy costs doubled after getting tortoises.

I won‘t be getting one any time soon mate. I am just about ready to shut down my 210 gallon aquarium after already shutting down 450 gallons and 6 tanks. Next pet will be one of those goats that fall over when you shout at them For eating the wife’s flowers

A one eyed python

It’s their shit warmed up under the heat lamps, and "under soil" heat pads. which you need to keep them alive.

They are canabilistic and can eat each others limbs off, we had some that were discounted, reserved them before buying the vivarium later and retuned to find that they had even less intact limbs later on.

I did not know that, there was a young lad near us used to ride around with one on his shoulder, beautiful animal (the dragon, not the boy, you have to be so fucking careful on here).

One of my herd of nieces has had a few exotic pets, black snakey thing whose species I can't remember atm, and an Axolotl were my favourites.

All else being equal, and I'm aware they're not exactly exotic, but I'd have runner ducks, simply because they're hilarious

Would a budgie be classed exotic

 

[flook]

Would a budgie be classed exotic

only if you smuggled it in yourself

 

[TonyM]

Oh exotic pet. Phew. No.

 

[Barcon]

I've had a few ferrets that are probably considered exotic pets over here.
