Insights on Exotic Pets

An exotic pet is an animal that is not conventionally kept as a pet or is a rare animal pet altogether. Usually pets that are not common cats, dogs, or birds frequently fall under the category of exotic animals. Bizarre looking animal are also commonly described as exotic. Exotics are quite expensive because they are rare and are highly regulated by laws such as those of the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna. People purchase and keep exotic animals for reasons of prestige, exhibition, or conserving these rare species. Due to their unpredictability and wild instincts, exotic pets can be dangerous in the domestic setting. Adoption of these pets should be very cautious, research on the behavior of these pets and familiarize them adequately. Some dangerous exotic pets are scorpions, snakes and constrictors, turtles, crocodiles, big cats and monkeys.

Exotics require veterinarian services just like their common, domestic counterparts. Necessarily, veterinarian care for these pets is quite an expensive affair. Being essentially wild animals, they have zoo tendencies in that they carry lethal viruses such as salmonella, rabies among others that can cause death or paralysis. These pets are also groomed and other expenses such as housing and food are factors that should be considered in the adoption of exotic pets. Feeding these pets is a big task, as they may even need to consume whole animals like rabbits. These pets demand specific environments in terms of temperature and climate as well as a suitable social environment.
