What is the weirdest pet animal you have owned?

Answer 1

I live for weird. Tarantulas, wolf spiders, black widows, roly-polys, lizards and snakes, squirrels and opossum! I grew up with the weird and wonderful. When I was 2 my mother's first pet for our family was a red-tailed boa constrictor - and the fascination never went away. now I do exotic animal rescue.

Answer 2

I have had many different animals since I was a kid. I kept, raised, bought, caught, recued, took in from others and bred countless animals. So, I don't call anything weird. However, I think the "Giant African Millipedes" I had would be considered a weird pet to alot of people. Most pets are not rare anymore. A few others I had that some people would consider a little out of the ordinary are a Sugar Glider, skunk(domestic), spider, tree frogs, Marbled salamanders, Rough Green Tree Snake, snails, small shark, Sea Horses, European Wall Lizards, Preying Mantis and an Alligator Snapping Turtle. I knew other people who had some of these animals as pets. So, I don't think it is really strange to keep and/or study anything these days.

Answer 3

Ok, I had a pet Skunk once. It's mama had been run over and I took it home and bottle feed it. It's eyes where not even open yet when I got it. I named her "Stinker". She never stank but her boy friends did that came around!! LOL!! I kept her in the house too. Then later I found a mama deer that someone had shoot out of season that had a fawn that was still alive so I took that home and bottle feed it till it was old enough to eat on it's own. It was a Buck. I named him "Raymond Bassie" "Bassie" for short, after the man that I found it on his property. Even when he grew up and I let him run free, he still never went too far from the house. So I had to put a cow bell on him to let people know that he was a pet not wild. He would try to follow me to school every day. I'd have to get off the bus and throw rocks at him and tell him to go home just like you would a pet dog!!! LOL.

Answer 4

I don't own any pets, but my brother has owned tarantulas and emperor scorpions as pets in the past. He has also had rats, mice, snakes, gerbils, guinea pigs, a ferret and a few birds in our lifetime. Now he just has a 55 gallon fish tank with a few gold fish and a rather large pacostimus. The fish tank has had ghost shrimp, crabs and snails in the past. Oh and we used to have a pet praying mantis that lived in my moms houseplants. I loved him!

Answer 5

A 4 foot Caribbean Iguana.

Answer 6

I had two pet raccoons once. Mommy raccoon got killed in a tree falling incident (no it wasn't me) so I adopted the two babies and bottle fed them until they were old enough to let themselves out of their cage. I was going to release them into the wild anyway but they beat me to it.

A couple of years later a pair of wild raccoons came up to me quite fearlessly in my same backyard - I'm pretty sure they were the same ones and had survived quite well.
