Jambo_LuLu Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I used to have and my sister still does have a garter snake! They are great pets, totally tame and quite easy to look after! Get a wee book you can buy in the likes of Aquacadabra and they (along with the staff) give great advice!! Or how about a Bearded dragon bit more expensive and a little harder to look after but make fab pets if you have the time. Chebs x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 The other half has 2 Giant African Snails. They are massive! Easily looked after. Just need a spray of water every now and then and a bit of lettuce in the tank. I've called them Huey and Luey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wibble Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have an imaginary dog. Dead easy to look after, no walks, no food, and it can be left alone in the house for months without so much as a drink. Didn't cost me a penny, either. I've called him Scab (after John Martin). Unfortunately I imagined that it had a terrible bout of the runs and I had imaginary dog skitters all over the house. I kicked the little bugger so hard up it's imaginary arse that the skitters spurted out of it's imaginary nose. It won't do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tynie Bubbles Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Was thinking about buying a snake tomorrow, was wondering if anyone in jkb land had any weird pets.Any help on buying a snake would be good too. My friend has a snake, whenever he goes away me and my other half become pet sitters. At feeding time, you have to thaw out baby rats (you buy them frozen from pet supplies shops) and warm them up, then place them where the snake can see them in its tank and get the lid back on, quickly. A tip: the ends of your fingers (nothing personal we're all the same in this respect) look like thawed out baby rats and those snakes can move very quickly when they spot their lunch vanishing out of the top of their tank. I only ever got a nip once, but don't fancy ever getting caught again. The snake devours the rats whole then digests them slowly ... the rats resemble disproportionate adams apples while this process takes place. Another tip: Don't get a snake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
