Wasn't there one of these threads a couple of months ago?

It might save you some time just searching for that tbh.

a gerbil is the most exotic pet i've ever had.

but i did used to work with many kinds of lizards, snakes and spiders. long time ago though - tbh can't remember much about it now.

Got 3 kittens, 3 corn snakes and about 60odd tarantulas.

Looking at getting a bearded dragon next, or a gecko.

That there is one of my spiders. I now only have 4 as 2 died within 2 weeks of each other

The pic is a Chile Rose for those that want to know.

I also have 2 cats and a pet wife. She can be quite exotic.

Cough.

Was gonna say why not, but I guess a microscope isn't commonplace in modern households these days.

Big lizards are a major undertaking.

Unlike snakes which are seemingly happy in a smallish encloseure a lot of large lizards like monitors, iguanas and tegus etc will appreciate substantially more room.

Years ago when I was in my early 20's I had a couple of golden tegus, they had a vivarium but I always left the door open and they had the run of the flat. I built a ramp so they could climb on to the top of the viv' to bask. Often had to chuck 'em out of my bed too, they used to hide under the pillows.

If you decide on a big lizard, choose wisely.

My Bearded Dragon. Approx 6-7 months old.

I'd like a baboon for a pet but sadly they are a bit bad tempered and violent to have rolling round the living room. That plus the fact one would own me in a fight
