what would you choose?

if you could have any one animal (for a pet, breeder, whatever--and not necessarily a herp) what would it be and why?

After actually owning a ball python, it would definately be a BP. I prefer DD, but he'll always have a special place in my heart as he was my first. Something about BP's just feels right, don't ask me why cause I don't know.

this doesn't really qualify as only one pet but i've always dreamed of having a large rainforest exibit. like the types at zoos stocked full of wildlife living as naturally as possible.

I would own a mink and let it run around the edge of my pound.

I thought you'd like that ... maybe I'll bring some hip waiters down tomorrow and try and catch that thing!

I'd love to have a AlbinoPied, or Vanilla Ball Python to work with -

For those wondering what a Vanilla looks like ->

Trust me, they look even better when you actually get to hold them and check them out in person. ;)

Agreed, saw him (The Vanilla) yesterday. :P

At the APshow here in West Palm Beach ...
The owners of stickyfeet reptiles are extremely nice, had an excellent chat with them.

It's amazing how much nicer the snake actually looks in-person.

They actually had the most variety of morphs at their table at the shower.
They had Mojaves, Yellow-Bellies-Pieds, An Amazing Albino, and that Vanilla :)

i wanna pony;)

Geez, had I known we could have fantasy creatures, I definately would have said unicorn. That's what the "uni" means, at least that's what it meant before the divorce...LOL

lol, call it a 12 year old kid on impulse but i think a komoda dragon would be cool, i know its not fecible though:rolleyes:

That's an impossible question for me to answer.

Probably one of these http://www.chevalphotography.com/ima...ticmajesty.jpg

Or a fat juicy blood python.

I can hardly resist these though http://priceanimal.com/Boelens%20033-1.jpg

I would take a hypo male ball python to go with the het female that I am getting :)

or if 'fantasy' animal are an option....I want a firebreathing dragon that flies :D

Hey man, be nice to unicorns. They have very magical properties.

Forget a unicorn, pegasus is better.

But, I'm more of a dragon person myself too.

Dinosaurs....I want them ALL :) I loved dinos when I was a kid.

A Mermaid...heh heh heh

This is such an unfair question. It is nearly impossible for me to answer because my wish list is so huge at this point. If I had to choose one right now, it would hafta either be a piebald BP or a Brazillian Rainbow Boa. For now.

Which version of Fire Breathing Dragon, personally I like Anne McCaffrey's version best. Firebreathing, telepathically linked to riders! She also wrote about unicorns too. LOL

ahem! STIPULATION: the animal you choose must be a currently attainable, living species, not fantasy, space dwelling or other creature not living on present day earth.

geesh Em! LOL

Really hard to choose but probably a fox red labrador retreiver pup. I've only seen one of this new color of lab at a dog show a few years ago and fell absolutely, totally, madly in love with that lovely coat color combined with the sweet goofiness of a labrador puppy face. Either that or a harlequin great dane. Those are just amazing!

Some day when we have the room...


~~Jo~~

This is very tough. :)
I would love to have a cougar. I'd build it a nice fenced-in area out back (a couple of acres.) I actually think that I'd rather keep it as a wild-type animal, watching it rather than petting and playing with it. I would have to fence it in, since there are morons around here who will shoot anything, including a beagle puppy, that crosses over onto their land. :(

I really want a well-trained "bombproof" paint gelding. I have a sorta-trained unregistered paint mare; lol

We watched a friends African Grey parrot while they were on vacation - that was definitely an interesting time - i'd wager if they weren't so 'spensive we'd have one by now.


That or a yard full of tree sloths.

I would also like to add that while I don't believe I could ever have the time, patience & commitment to keep them, I would love the opportunity to live with the Seus Family for a couple of weeks & roll & tumble around with their Grizzly Bears Lil Bart, Honey Bump & Tank. I hafta admit, every time Growing Up Grizzly is on Animal Planet, I cannot stop myself from watching it. I think I have seen it probably 12 times!

Ha, I've probably watched Growing Up Grizzly, atleast five times.
Amazing animals they are.

I'd definitally expand my Ball Python collection with expensive morphs if I could.
I'd also love to have a miniture pony, if I had the property for it.
They're adorable. :P

Miniature HORSE, thank you.

Yes, they are. Neat little boogers.

Andalusian horses, Scottish highland cattle, some silkie bantam chickens, a kinkajou and a giraffe.

And if it *has* to be only one, the horse. I miss mine so much.

K~

Silkie bantams rock. Sweetest little chickens.

NO WAIT IM SERIOUS!!!!

lol

Lemurs are way cooler than monkeys.

:P

I want a Gibon or Spider Monkey. We used to have one each when I was a kid. Grew up in Thailand (I am/was a military brat). They loved my mom so much they would hoot and holler all whenever my dad, my sister or I would hug her in their line of sight. LOL
