As an exotic pet, monkeys are somewhat hard to come by on a normal day. For the sake of brevity, I’m looking at the trade in exotic pets. However, species such as- Kenyan Sand Boa, Blood Python, Corn Snake, King snake etc are considered to be exotic. The number of pets that die in captivity soon after being acquired is astounding, and a very poor reflection on the exotic pet hobby in general.

In the face of so few options, some people will set the animal loose—which is dangerous and illegal. The most popular starter snake pets are milk snakes, king snakes, corn snakes, and ball pythons. On websites like Youtube, many people (most notably, is Brian Barzyk, from snakebytes) are promoting vanity” or designer” reptiles, without ever openly mentioning how they’re made.

These types of exotic pets are really cute and are furry as well. There are thousands of households in North America that have pet snakes, Lizards and other exotics. Other things to consider when choosing your exotic pet store is how the animals are kept there that are being sold.

We’re not weird or stupid just because we own snakes and lizards (Okay maybe some are because I’ve met a few strange reptile owners in my lifetime) we just simply enjoy these beautiful creatures. The care for exotic pets is also more expensive, as some of these animals require a veterinarian with specialized knowledge and skills in order to properly care for them.

Are you looking for an exotic pet that will really catch the attention of your friends and family? I am the (very) wrong side of 25 and work as an Animal Management technician where I teach a bit and mostly look after the various occupants of the exotics house which range from endangered geckos and amphibians to large lizards and snakes and a colony of woodlice.

Many reptile owners presenting their very ill pet to me have no idea what temperature their vivarium is at different times of day or night, and in some cases no idea what temperature their animal needs to begin with, instead trusting that the equipment sold in the pet shop will produce the exact requirements needed for their pet.

Exotic pets can call for a lot of different kinds of care from traditional pets and different kinds of supplies and food, and buying your pet from a trustworthy and educated source is critical for your success in creating the right environment for your new pet at home.

In short, if you provide adequate space and appropriate conditions for your few select reptile pets rather than substandard conditions for your large collection, it is likely you will avoid causing respiratory illness notwithstanding accidental introductions of infectious agents in new animals.

The website has a host of wild animals for sale including Arabian oryx, slow lorises and cheetahs, which are all listed as vulnerable to extinction on the Red List of Threatened Species published by the International …

In light of a trainer’s tragic death from interacting with a supposedly trained killer whale, it is interesting to note that this is not first, and not even the second, but the third death caused by this powerful animal. Insurance can also provide coverage in the event of death of the exotic animals because of fire, natural disaster, accident, injury or illness. Bowzer is very friendly and Bearded dragons make great pets for first time lizard owners. Cages or tanks housing exotic pets should be cleaned and disinfected with an appropriate disinfectant at the correct concentration on a regular basis.

A few of the best exotic pets that you can choose to go for would be coatimundis, kinkajous, lemurs, red kangaroos, ferrets, chinchillas, dormice, guinea pigs, potbelly pigs, and lemurs. Salmonella is a zoonosis from pet reptiles that I am asked about on a fairly regular basis, and usually relates to the risk associated with reptile pets and Salmonellosis in humans.

Cats are one of the most popular animals that are domesticated and kept as pets. Not that I’m saying cats and dogs don’t need good care, but the care they need is much easier to meet than the care needs of a big cat or primate. The basis of keeping such pets successfully is in researching their requirements and providing as near a replication of wild conditions as possible. exotic pets

Tree boas and pythons tend to have very strict temperature and humidity requirements, and water snakes have very specific care …
