Bearded Dragons, and other such exotic animals.

After hanging out with a friend who owns a Bearded Dragon for the past couple weeks, I gotta say, I've grown kinda fond of the little lizard.

It's kind of strange. I would usually never consider owning a pet other than a cat or dog, something that is affectionate (and fluffy) and enjoys having human attention. However, just chilling with the lizard is pretty cool. Sort of just clings to you, licks things to see what they are, and then wanders until she finds another comfy, dark spot.

I have never known anyone who owned something other than a cat, dog, or fish before, so hanging out around a lizard has been a neat experience. I sort of want to see what hanging out with a snake is like, I might try to do that soon.

I recently found out our friendly neighbourhood David Beirne (check out his blog!) has owned a Tarantula before. Have any of you owned some exotic pets? Any interesting experiences?
