Pets you wish were sold MORE OFTEN in pet stores!

[boosh96]

Here's a thread where you can list animals you wish were sold more often in QUALIFIED exotic pet stores and stuff! I'll kick-start it by making my own list. Here goes:

-Budgett's frogs! For those of you who don't know what these are, they're basically an aquatic relative of the Pacman frog-look 'em up! I am lucky enough to own one of these awesome frogs, and I can't overstate how fun they are to keep! I am aware that I'm kinda advertising them, but they just kick ASS!

-African Bullfrogs! I've never kept one before, but they're badass as far as frogs go. :P

-Mudskippers! I've always wanted to keep a few of these, and from what I've read, they aren't that hard to care for!

-Pygmy chameleons! I had one of these awesome little boogers in the past, and I loved mine as much as I love my Budgett's frog! They're kinda sorta high-maintenance, but actually pretty easy as far as chameleons go!

-Tarantulas, of course! And I don't mean your average G. rosea or B. smithi-I'm talking about EXOTIC T's, like M. balfouri and stuff!

-Hognose snakes! They're just so nubby and cute-looking! :P

-Softshell turtles! I know they get big and stuff, but they're just awesome animals.

captive bred newts: which would really make almost perfect aquarium animals for many people, but too many WC running around.

crested/gargoyle geckos: great beginner lizards, seem to be picking up momentum.

Russian ratsnakes: have heard good things about these guys

you guys don't have the right type of pet stores around you as at least 75-80% of what was listed I can find fairly readily.. Guess I am lucky and I am happy about that!

I completely agree. Except that my lps will slap on a ridiculous price. Right now they're asking $150 for a 2" G. pulchripes.

After glancing at the political news ongoing in the U.S. I'd suggest an Inland Taipan in every household. Better yet, several.
