QOTD #00093: “If you could choose any exotic pet to have, what would it be?”

We all know it is wrong to keep certain exotic and wild animals in our home. It can be dangerous for us, and sad for them. However, if you could have one exotic pet - ethics aside - what pet would you own?

Hitting the eucalyptus hard with my koala.
“My exotic pet - hopefully, I'm not breaking any community guidelines here - but koala. You know, he's getting high, I'm getting high. We're just chilling and vibing. Those eucalyptus leaves, they hit hard. They hit real hard.”

Koalas just look so cute
“If I had to choose an exotic pet, it would probably be a koala because I like how cute they are, how they just climb up trees and how they can carry their kids around, and they just look so cute. I wish I could hold one right now.”

A dangerous snake to keep me on my toes
“If I could choose any exotic pet to have, what would it be? It'd have to be a super venomous snake - maybe like a black mamba or something like that - maybe even like an anaconda, but some sort of snake that you wouldn't want to be crossing in your daily life. And you're probably like, "Woah, that's a weird thing to think of. Why do you want a dangerous snake as your exotic pet?" And the answer is very simple: Keeps you on your feet. Keeps you on your toes when you're running around, when you're walking around, and you need to know at all times, where's the black mamba at? Where's the anaconda? 'Cuz, you know, death could be- it could be looming, and you don't even know it. Keep - You gotta stay on your toes, keep yourself aware and, you know, your life will be better for it. Sick of standing around staring at your phone all the time, being absorbed in it? While you have a black mamba running around? You can't be because you never know when it might strike or where it's at. So, having a dangerous snake would definitely, you know, keep you paying more attention to your life. And for that reason, you know, I would wanna have it. Keep you on your toes.”

Wouldn't have to worry about my slow sloth
“I do not actually know if sloths count as being exotic, but if I could have a sloth, I would really like that. I think it'd be really cute to have it climbing around on my plants, like in the living room, and I like that it would kinda be slow. Like, I would always know where it is. I'd never have to worry about it 'cuz it's kind of always in the same place.”

A fennec fox would be so adorable
“My exotic pet would be a fennec fox. I just think they're so adorable. They have really long ears, and they have cute little faces. I mean, it's basically a mix of a rabbit and a fox, and how can you not want a pet that's those two combined?”

Snow Leopard - I can adapt to that life.
