Wild animals
What exotic animal can you keep in your apartment?
An exotic pet isn't a typical cat or dog, or even a hamster or parrot. Many pets brought from other countries are no longer considered exotic, having become so commonplace. However, over time, people have begun to keep venomous snakes, tarantulas, and even lions and tigers in city apartments. Tragic incidents occasionally occur as a result, leading to an extensive list of exotic animals that are strictly prohibited for keeping as pets. However, there are many peaceful, small animals that are not often found in city apartments and are relatively easy to care for. Experimentalists keep them for their own pleasure, or even specifically for their children and grandchildren.Read more

Keeping and caring for a lizard at home
Getting a lizard means becoming the owner of an unusual and wonderful friend. As with any pet, this is a serious and responsible step. If you've ever had a pet, you understand what I mean. And although keeping a lizard is slightly easier than keeping a dog, cat, or rabbit, this doesn't relieve the owner of their responsibilities. A lizard requires little attention, space, and time for care; it eats less than four-legged pets, and it requires specific living conditions. Creating a comfortable environment similar to the reptile's native habitat requires effort. But other difficulties in keeping a reptile are very few. You're also guaranteed the absence of hair, fluff, and feathers, which means there's no risk of allergies. Furthermore, lizards are quiet creatures, leading a completely monotonous and measured life.Read more
