Would you consider keeping exotic pets?

Exotic pets are not for me. My cousin keeps snakes (yes, plural) and one of them got out of it's enclosure and went missing in his house for a time. I think they're much better off in the wild.

It depends, I wouldn't like a pet reptile. But if that's something cute like a fox, I might consider it. Still, having exotic animals as pets might be more troublesome than a traditional choice like a dog or a house cat.

I think exotic animals belong in the wild, where they add to the beauty and play their role in the ecosystem.

Yes, I would love a Macaw Parrot.

They are amazing.

I have a python. Technically though, it's dogs and cats that are exotic here, as they are not native to Australia, whereas my python is.

Exotic birds maybe but anything creepy crawly - forget it!

Yes, I would -I wanted a snake at one stage, but my partner thought I was stark raving mad, as I am petrified of snakes!

I quite like the pet ones as I know they can do no harm, and I cannot see what is wrong with exotic pets apart from the fact that some of them you have to feed mice to and I would have a problem with that.
