I was wondering what unusual pets any of the zoobeaters keep as pets! I keep 8 species of small rodents including fat tailed gerbils, african striped grass mice, african pygmy dormice, chinchilla and a few more common species!

Just thought it would be interesting!
 
I keep Guinea pigs!

I had two, Florence and Dougal. Florence Died from Pneumonia. Dougal then, got v ery lonely, so we got her a friend Betsy! Betsy is six weeks old and is very very very cute!

Tawny Frogmouth
Purple Crowned Lorikeet
Parons and Star Finches
a tank of native fish (gudgeons, glasfish, hardyheads and yellow eeltail ohh and som desert gobies)

They're the first species of my future south american tank. will be joined by Hyphessobrycon, Corydoras and Otocinclus. Possible a Ancistrus too.
 
I used to have a large shoal of them and they were a very good size, they looked great
 
i don't have many pets right now. in the past however....

southern brown tree frogs
australian green tree frogs (white's)
white-lipped tree frogs
southern water skink
long-necked tortoise
japanese fire-bellied newts
italian great crested newts
european common newts

more tropical fish than i care to mention.

chinese silky bantams (and a few examples of other bantam breeds)

as well as the family cats and dogs growing up.
 
well, besides the typical cat and dog, I'm kinda the cold-blooded type.
really into fish and reptiles.

in reptiles I mostly keep and breed snakes: I've got 4 pairs of ratsnakes (cornsnake, taiwanese ratsnakes, chinese cavesnakes, transpecos ratsnake), emerald treeboas (my personal favorites) and boa constrictors
besides that I keep african spurred tortoises, mexican marsh turtles, 3 slider species and a crowned basilisk

in fish I've got the big south americans: silver arowana, freshwater stingray, brazilian eartheaters, silver dollars, freshwater barracuda and a variety in common and suckermouth catfish

I used to have a marine system too with lionfish, triggers, moray eel and shark. but due to a lack of time, space, ... I had to give that up. but, lucky me, with recent construction changes round the house, I'll have one up and running again soon...

I think that about wraps it up on my behalf.
oh yeah, I've used all common names in the above list. people interested in more details or latin names, just shout.

I have had many pet fallow deer I have raised. They go back down the paddock once they start wandering usually over one year old.

I raised a kangaroo once who stayed around the house for about 5 years until she just left one day.

I also have a Murray Cod in my fish tank
