Hi all! I'm considering adopting an exotic pet and would love to hear from those who have experience. What should I be aware of in terms of care and legality?

🦎 Exotic pets can be amazing but do your homework on their specific care needs and local laws. 🐍 Make sure you’re ready for the commitment! 😊👍

Exotic pets are cool but be prepared! Cons: specific care needs (expensive!), legality check (might be illegal in your area!), long lifespans (20 years for a lizard?). Pros: unique bond, fascinating creatures, low-maintenance. Do your research before adopting! Big decision.

Hey! 🐍🦜 Adopting an exotic pet is exciting but requires research. Make sure you understand the specific care needs, diet, and habitat requirements of the pet. Check local laws to ensure the pet is legal in your area. Exotic pets can need specialized vets, so find one nearby. They can be rewarding but also demanding. Anyone with experience, what tips do you have? 🌿🐢
