exotic pets.

Are there any contributors to this forum who own or have owned exotic pets? Could be very interesting.

I own a Royal Python and kept all kinds of tarantulas for over 20 years. I have lots of pics but they are all hosted on an old version of photobucket and I can't get the links to work on this forum.

I've not been able to get hyperlinks to work from this Forum although I did see one post where someone seemed to find a control sequence to do it. But if you paste the test of the link in a post on a separate line people can copy and paste it into the browser. More secure in a way as one can see what the full link is before going there.

I'll have a fiddle about and see what happens.

Ewww, Sue I like snakes, but do you handle your tarantulas?  I've heard they're quite solid and un-insect like, not sure I could do it.  But fascinating!

I claim a Chihuahua, as the breed originates in Mexico and I have to dress him in a coat in this cold weather. We can occasionally be seen on the benches by the Spencer Arms on warm weather days.

I had a budgie once, amusing little chap, used to stick his head in a bell. Mr Heath.

Used to have an Arctic Snowy owl. Lived for years. Such a beautiful bird. Also ring-necked parakeets.  Quite expensive to buy at the time.  Now in Putney am overloaded on my bird feeder with parakeets. ( not ring-necked ) For free.

How wonderful! I love owls! 🦉

Sue. At one time I had quite a few Barn owls.  Unfortunately had to move.  The owls were relocated beautifully.  Can you remember Carla Lane?  She was the lady who wrote hit TV sitcom Bread.  Had her own 'preservation' area and rescued all my barn owls. I used to do a release programme, preparing the owlets to live independently in the wild,in Wiltshire, for my 'babies' Lovely memories.
