Who has/had the most unusual pet?

[V8S]

We've had a cat, dog, budgie and rabbit. I even kept a few Elephant Hawk Moth caterpillars in my youth. That is, hopefully, nothing compared to what some people out there in PH have kept.

Anyone keep a croc? A sloth? A quetzal? Loris?

Doesn't even need to be exotic - could be a nematode called Alan.

Dave the cat, sadly passed recently. Then onto Nigel the Cat.

Cat names are boring...

I hear a divorce is the only way out.

I used to keep a crab in my tropical fish tank. Occassionally it used to escape. Usually during the night.

I would find it sitting in the middle of the living room carpet, dried up and apparently dead. Picking it up and popping back into the tank would immediately revive it.

I've got a BMW called Brian.

i used to have a pair of degu's. went to buy a chinchilla and ended up with them.

big mistake, noisy little barstewards they are, and were not tame and were never thoroughly so. i filtered out the squeaking after a while but housemates and visiting ladies were driven mad by it. they live with a mate in wales now.

mine was called professor russel musselbrough. russ for short. brian and colin are good names for a cat. judith if it is a lady

[otolith]

Recently went to a wildlife park which had a display including hissing cockroaches, giant African land snails, leaf cutter ants, a giant millipede, a tarantula and a fat tailed scorpion.

OH said it was "a room full of things that wanted stamping on".

I used to have a pet pike. Pretty boring when it wasn't being fed.

I once shared a flat with a Hippocrocopig.

[Mon Ami Mate]

I had a pet chameleon called Keith when I was a teenager in South Africa. The house maids were terrified of it.

Chickens
A very, very, very nasty cockrel
A donkey
A goat
A snake
A tarantula
Chinchillas
Fish (tropical and fresh water)
Frogs
Gerbils
Hamsters
Rabbits
Ginea pigs
Newts
Chipmunks
Rats
Stick insects

But all I ever wanted was a Border Terrier
