anyone own any exotic pets?

Okay, I'm a highly stoned jerk. I will cop to that. But I am truly sorry for your loss GreenLady. Now I feel jerkier than usual.

Knees, RIP buddy.

[GreenLadyOfDankDowns]

Nah Mrs. Greenjeans, you're cool. I understand that not everyone is comfortable with spiders. In fact that's why I bought Knees in the first place. I have arachnaphobia to the nth degree and thought taking care of a spider would help that. I got used to Knees after a few months, but wild spiders are another story. They still freak me out, especially if they jump on me without warning.

Have you ever noticed that if you're camping, and smoking green in your tent, you become popular with spiders? This is a running joke with me and my smoking camping friends.

True story...my clothes dryer broke...the heating element went out, so I bought a new one and went into the dankass basement to install it. I was sitting on the concrete, wrenching away, when it felt like somebody was looking at me. I turned my head slowly like a chick in a bad horror movie...

5 little spiders! With 8 eyes apiece. 40 eyelenses checking me out. So I talked to them. Like so...

"I know you live here, but I do too, and I pay bills up in this motherfucker. You can watch, but if one of you crawls on me, I'm going to kill you. I don't want to kill you, but I will. Please don't make me kill you. I want to give you your respect."

Dryer got fixed, spiders left me alone. Henceforth, I talk to creatures.

i've wanted a few, never really had the money to spend on 'em... when i think 'exotic' by today's standards, mainly i mean the things hardly anyone keeps as pets, well in comparison to say dogs and cats.

tarantula's, scorpion's, sugar gliders are three i wanted... i still want them, but the wife is scared shitless of spiders... she'd kill me before letting me own one... scorpions are cool.. maybe i'll get one soon.. the wife isn't happy about the idea of having one of those, but i'm sure it's not as bad as a big assed spider o.0. sugar gliders are expensive...

but i have owned 3 snakes, 5+ iguana's, a t-something gecko, 2 other lizards (some desert lizard) box tortises, red eared turtles, newts, when my uncle lived with us when i was really young, he also had an electric eel, and a snake of his own, later he owned a hedgehog and a chinchilla... the hedge hogs are cool but dont'w alk barefoot in whatever room you keep them in, they're constantly shedding those spikes... it sucks to step on oneby accident.

hypomelanistic

Overly pigmented? Can you explain? Ise confuzzed.

I used to have a Lemur. Her name was Tapanga and she was a soda whore. If anyone had soda around her she would go and lay her head on their leg and sort of pet them and look up at them like "I am so cute, you must give me the soda. I will love you long time!" I didn't have her for long. I just fostered her for a rescue group for about three months. It was an interesting experience.

Hypomelanistic or rosy corn snakes carry a recessive trait that reduces the dark pigments causing the reds, whites, and oranges to become more vivid. Their eyes remain dark. These snakes range in appearance between amelanistic corns snakes to normals with greatly reduced melanin.
