My, umm, other pet ...

[incubus2432]

I have 4 miniature pinschers and a sheltie/shepherd mix......nothing exotic enough for pics in this thread.

Love the toad BTW!

Thanks, guys,

I've always had strange pets. Tarantulas, iguanas, I kept 'em both at one time, but never had a parrot. They seem kind of high maintenance, and I've already got one spoiled, demanding Yorkie with a jealous streak. He even hates my frogs! Maybe I should get a parrot to put Tripper in his place

Oh, that's right, they don't have grey squirrels in California!

Oh, we got them all right, or something closely related, and that was my guess but I never saw ones that tiny before.

My wife Andrea was very keen on having a carpet python as a pet. No thank-you very much!! Her brother had a few for awhile, but once one of them bit him, she changed her mind. Hence our marriage was saved!!

Boas are good pets. Pythons are not. That's what I always heard, anyway.

Cool pic kira.Sadly ive just had to flush my eel in my tank due to it having some sort of infection it was dying. Eel be going to the great big pond in the sky....

I think cats (Felis catus) qualify as strange pets.

erm, thanks, Mitch. That went completely over my head

But I get the feeling I'll regret it if I ask you to explain

Wow, my inner artiste is going to have nightmares tonight

Very cool Kira!! Dig the wild color patterns.

Have you ever licked him and tripped out? I hear it's quite the experience. haha.

Yeah but I swore off the stuff years ago

Most likely it would be an experience at the emergency room!, or a Darwin Award winner

Good one! I'd love too see a Darwin award given because somebody licked their exotic frog to see if an Urban (well, Jungle...) legend is true.

Kira...did you say...Panchoglo?

[kiramdear]

Suicide by stupidity? No shortage of candidates out there, sadly

Collin, in actuality Pancho lacks the dietary ingredients to put the whopper on anyone. I've handled him with no averse skin reaction. But in the jungle the natives (historically) would rub their arrowheads on the backs of certain species in order to guarantee a quick kill.

Dane, I love it! Of course, you'd need a red "python" strap to accent the color mix.

Lynda sent these in to me last week but I've been lax in getting them up for you. Here are her two hedgehog confederates, Frodo and Aidan:



And all I can say is, "Awwwwwwwww!!!!!"

Here's a night shot of Captain Ron, one of my beautiful Northern Leopard Frogs. The little fellow came to me missing one eye, but as you can tell, he has no trouble finding dinner. He is oddly very un-fearful, therefore my favorite. His mate hardly ever leaves the hut.
