“Can I own an exotic animal?”
It’s an important question to ask before welcoming a pig, snake, lizard or any other exotic pet into your home.
Like dogs and cats, when you get an exotic pet you are committing to them for life, and making a promise that you will care for them and pay all costs associated with their well-being.
Unlike cats and dogs, some exotic pets can live for decades and require special supplies to ensure they lead a happy and healthy life.
