What is it? Is it tough to care for?
I have a black cat with access to 5th level teleportation spells, dunno if that counts
Nice try NYSDEC. You are not going to trick me that easily.
No, I don’t, but thanks for asking
I had cockroaches. They were all supposed to be male but one or more started laying eggs. I noped right out of that one.
I had a black Emperor Scorpion. He was a chill little dude. Mildly venomous. Fine pet for someone who can handle that / not young kids.
Were the cockroaches food for the scorpion?
No, totally separate times in my life. Though that would have been an interesting way to dispose of the cockroaches. Based on number of eggs, I probably would have needed another 20 scorpions.
One tanuki or raccoon dog that belongs to me, one ringtail/miner cat I help my first mate with, and a hawk that lives in my backyard that likes me.
How do you know the hawk likes you?
The hawk flies up and perches near me when I’m outside, seemingly just to listen to me and maybe receive some feed.
Waauw. Scenario straight out of a fairy tale <3
I have a special needs bearded dragon. Special needs because he was born without scales. Also, unfortunately, he is now mostly blind.
He has given me more grey hairs in his 5 years on earth than my previous 30. His care requires multiple skincare products, aloe, etc. His diet requires me to keep bins of cockroaches which also require their own food and water. He also requires heat & UVB bulbs with separate fixtures, and has a specialty “herpstat” that can automatically time the lights, control temperatures, report on humidity, etc.
He is a pain to care for!
I love him so much. I do it all happily and he’s a wonderful, friendly, sweet, amazing companion.
Indirectly. Some came with my wife and when my father in law passed we got another. Now my wife has a brown thumb. I think I made that term up but basically she has a knack for keeping animals healthy and alive and im not exactly sure how. She just has good instincts around that stuff. Anyway she has a tortoise and a turtle. Pretty easy over all as its mostly cleanup and feeding. She does this rubdown of fishoil and other supplements every few months. From my father in law we got a goffin cockatoo when my father in law passed and the bird is almost 40. We have had him for like ten years but my father in law had him way longer and in his formative years. Anyway im father in law as a curmudgeon and so is the bird and he shows no signs of changing his way at this age. I do not recommend exotics though. If you don’t live in a major metropolitan area finding a vet that handles them will be tough and even then the vets will be far more likely to be ignorant of them. I would not have them if not for my wife and even she would not get more as she realizes she was just not as wise in her youth.
There’s a shadow spider in the top corner of my room, but it hides when I switch the lights on
