Post some pictures of other pets!

Seeing as the Cat thread is so very popular, I figured I would start a thread for other animals.

Here are some of Doug




Feeding time



Not the best photo the last one but the best one I've got of him with his tounge out

At least he looks healthy. I used to see quite a few exotics at a practice I worked at. Some of the pathetic states I saw them in from burns, to abscesses, to malnutrition. One lad brought in the care guide sheet he'd been given by the pet shop he'd bought his iguana from. He had been told to feed it veg only. Funnily enough the poor thing was on its way out by the time we got to see it.

I can imagine it happens quite often with exotics, thankfully there are some excellent resources both on the internet and locally for me. The local pet shop knows what they're talking about and all of their stock looks to be healthy. I've had Doug since he was a nipper, no longer than my index finger.

He's a little explorer mind, often jumping around and trying to get into places he's not supposed to be in

I would have posted a pic, but it's likely to get me banned.

How about this for an unusual pet - http://www.petturds.com/

Corn Snakes are the best for beginners (snake wise) but exotic animals do have special requirements. I've never had a Snake but did seriously consider getting one before getting Doug. Depending on the breed they may have special dietry requirements, humidity levels, temperature levels etc.

Corn Snakes are available in a variety of colours and are relitively tame. I'm sure Monkey boy 1 will have better information than me.

Corn snakes are brilliant, very easy to keep, this is how they started out


They only need feeding about once every 7 to 10 days on frozen, but thawed out mice.
They're easy to handle, very friendly & great to watch.

They dont need much space either as they like small spaces to hide up.

We have them in a 3ft x 2ft x 1.5ft vivarium. only need a heat mat & a heat lamp. no humidity control and no UV needed, unlike Beardies

They do know who you are, The darker one of the two snakes is my sons', the other belongs to Mrs MB. My sons' one will sit wrapped around his arm for hours quire still, but with me it's a bit more fidgety.

[Strike_J]

Too many cool pets that I want, still fancy a snake but haven't got the room.

That and my Mam would kill me! Just have to wait till I move out.

[Monkey boy 1]

they don't need much space
