Hey, thought about making a Mayberry thread for anyone with unique or atypical pets. They don't have to be super bizarre, just something aside from dogs or cats or basic beta/goldfish/guppy fish tanks.
Went into a Petco about a month ago to get a Beta fish for a pet for our toddler..... And we walked out with a bearded dragon <Lmaoo>
The scene of my wife and toddler convincing me was probably something out of a sitcom, but they won the battle. The little guy is pretty cool, more social than I ever thought a reptile could be. Sits on your shoulder to watch TV, will eat crickets out of your hands. Once he gets a little bigger we have a leash to take outside on a hot summer day.
The thing they don't tell you about getting a bearded dragon is, is that soon you'll find yourself with plastic totes full of roaches and crickets in your garage trying to breed the damn bugs to save money on having to buy a few hundred a week. So yeah, if my house burns down its because a roach got out and I handled it the best way I knew how.
Anyone else any non standard pets? How do you like it? What do friends think?
I actually don’t have many pictures of the dragon, most of what I have are videos as I love watching him hunt. Definitely gives off a dinosaur vibe when chasing crickets and roaches down.
