Exotic pets are wild animals gone domestic; explore the absurd, fascinating and sometimes illegal exotic pet industry.

Every morning I wake up in a house overlooking 500 acres of central Texas land that I manage called Valkyrie Ranch. As I drink my coffee and look outside, I see something different every day. This land is an exotic game ranch dedicated to preserving various types of animals that would otherwise be extinct (or heading in that direction) in their natural habitat, such as Piere-Davids, blackbuck, oryx, wildebeest, fallow, etc. Most of them roam freely around the property; some are in their enclosures - for their safety and ours. Working with them can be one of the most rewarding occupations, but it can also be one of the most heartbreaking.

Leaping Lizards
Just like sunbathers on beaches all over the world lizards love to lie in the sun all day. At night they hide near rocks and other vegetation. They are reptiles with characteristic traits of snakes forked tongues and scales. Lizards have claws to help them climb, dig and defend themselves. Often their tails are longer than their bodies and they use them to balance, climb, and for protection. There are 4,675 species of lizard and they can live up to 50 years.

Tipping the Scales
In case you're unfamiliar with them, Bearded Dragons can be extraordinary pets. They are friendly, generally amenable to handling, and have relatively few husbandry requirements when compared to the more tropical species of reptiles and amphibians.

Bam! My Pet Rhino.. Top Story - November 2021.
Before I tell you about Bam!, my pet rhino, let me first give you these two disclaimers: 1) Would I lie to you? Of course I would lie to you! I'm a fiction writer and, by definition, that's what fiction writers do. 2) I don't really like these pet challenges since I no longer have any pets. I think it's unfair. It's like having a challenge 'Tell us why you love your Chevy". Well, if you don't have a Chevy I guess you're just shit out of luck. Am I right? Of course I am.

Top 5 Tarantulas For Beginners
It's been a few years since I attended my first reptile expo but I will never forget the experience. At that point, I only had one snake (a ball python) and I was curious to check the place out and possibly buy some frozen mice for Dahlia. Up until then, it wasn't my plan to get any more pets. We already had 3 dogs, 4 cats and a snake. I was good.

I Snailed the Halloween Costumes
Meet Jaspi and Eglantine, giant African land snails turned into Halloween bats. This year, I snailed the Halloween costumes. I have my husband to thank for it as he came up with the idea of bat wings. Of course, I can also thank my pet snails for posing with the wings.

Ori v. Dragon
Ori came from the streets. Or, more accurately, from the porch. Set outside by an overwhelmed owner, she waited all night in the rain until discovered by Sucker #1 (me) who promptly threw her and her filthy cage into my car and drove off after a twelve hour overnight shift. She was a shivering timid thing who curled up against my neck for the ride, watching the sun come up as we parked at my house. My intent was to drive her to the shelter after some sleep but she caught my eye for too long and, after a few beats of uninterrupted contact, decided she was part of my menagerie.
