I was about to be SO jelly.
Ever since I was a kid I always asked my dad for some >.<
(We had some.. wild pets so it was 100% normal for me to want them lolol!)

What a babe so lucky!

I never owned wild animals but I'd play with them so I'm not really scared of most animals. Playing with wild snakes and crows were common ones for me.

I'm scared of small spiders (totally fine with taratulas), nervous with geese, and dislike the presence of koalas. I'll cuddle nearly anything else.

You are right to be a bit iffy on geese... They are ruthless!
Pretty from afar!

You are a rockstar!

I was chased by them as a toddler holding a bag of popcorn.

I interacted with one that I think may have been mentally disabled that was super sweet and let me pet them but other than that they look at me like they're laying a curse on me.

Thank you? :D

Omg same @.@

Greedy things chasing small kids for food haha. Its great you found a rare nice one.

Yeah it's nice to know kind ones exist. Canadian Geese are super purty tho :o

No I am literally on the opposite side of the mainland US x3 I live in washington

I would just go hunting semi frequently and would come across critters I liked to play with, aside from crows which are usually pretty friendly if you give them any food you happen to be holding

Crows are fairly easy friends from my experience, they're insanely intelligent. I'm kinda surprised they aren't a common domestic bird, as many of the birds they domesticate are not nearly as intelligent.

LUCKY ON THE BOBCAT THO

I liek gators they're cute. They're so broad featured lol

I dunno ravens mentality, crows are pretty simple in regards to "you feed me so I like you" but they can also be begrudging little dicks, especially if you're friendly to more than one >w>

Play with awl da burds

I gave the ones near where I lived dry bread and walnuts lol

Crows will eat nearly anything. They'll eat most nuts from what I know, though I only gave them walnuts because our neighbor had two monumental walnut trees that always dropped nuts in our yard.

CROCO-BABY

ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL

FUCKIN' GORGEOUS.

How adorable. Too bad they turn into killer monsters. If they remained derpy as adults I'd love one.

They do though, gators don't actually view us as food, crocodiles are the much more dangerous ones.

The recent gator related death was a result of the wild gators being fed by humans, so they assumed a child had food, and grabbed their hand and pulled them under. Kid drowned, the gator did very little actual damage to them because the weren't trying to kill them.

Crocs on the other hand will hunt people and num them. Numnumnum.

I wouldn't believe that. Especially growing up in FL. Lizards are too unpredictable.

Well, I grew up playing with wild snakes, including rattlesnakes...So I mean, they aren't really that unpredictable if you watch them and don't be a dick to them

You have more balls then me xD

Well, I wouldn't recommend playing with wild snakes, I never got bit but I also never approached one that seem incredibly terrified.

I definitely recommend holding reptiles and stuff that have been socialized though :3 Many, many of them are very affectionate and they tend to be especially cuddly compared to other animals because, being cold blooded, they're particularly responsive to your body heat. If you're scared of reptiles you would likely be over it after actively handling some of the scarier looking ones ^^

I've never owned one but bearded dragons are especially adorable and affectionate. I plan to own one someday when I can have a rather large tank

I had a knight anole once. She wasn't friendly at all. She was fine with my ex but not with me. Believe me I tried liking lizzies. They are awesome. But they are hard to care for and tend to be temperamental and are difficult so I rather just not. I know my limits as a pet owner after all.

I just looked that up and it was kinda scary lol.

I'm used to birds at this point, not exactly hard to care for but...well parrot birds have terrible twos

Birbs can be so temperamental! But they are ridiculously sweet. Its all a manner how much attention you give 'em. I had budgies as a kid. I wouldn't mind another birb but lack of time means I'm best of with low maintenance pets like cats.

I have pretty much all the time to spend with pets, as I work from home (doing art). I adore most large birds, I prefer predatory or feral birds, I just get along with most of them better. My boyfriend has a green cheek conure that fucking LOATHES me.

Like, he gets up on the side of the cage closest to me while I'm drawing, then will proceed to scream for anywhere from 2-45 minutes. I give him treats if he stays quiet, commonly share my food (I eat a lot of fruit) if he isn't being a dick to me, have never hurt him.

BUT. I stole his mate. This bird adored me then he saw me kiss my bf for the first time and he's been screeching at me for over a year now.

However, he freaks out and cries if I ever leave the house.

That's how birds are. That's why I don't like birds much anymore. They love one person and are mean to everyone else xD

Rats are awesome, I'd get some if I could right now. But they don't live long and that's just sad.

Not necessarily! He also has a cockatiel that was pretty friendly with me, and since his cagemate died, he now thinks that I'm his mate.

I'm under the impression that part of the reason the conure hates me is because I am 'mated' to the cockatiel, my boyfriend, and the guinea pig (all of them spend the most time with me and are most physically affectionate with me)

And then the conure is an asshole so nothing other than my boyfriend (who tries desperately to play with and hold mr crankybird) will get within a few feet of him.

I would have a rat, though honestly their inflated nutsacks are a tad offputting to me. My guinea buddy is super great though. I'm nearly always right next to him and he'll lay down all regal-like on my lap lol

You're scared of big balls, what kind of gay are you? XD
Just get girls then xD

the not gay kind :P bisexual, and I happen to find both sets of genitals disturbing

I probably would get girls lol

one can be surprised by the manor that all things arnt what they seem

I know right? I really like reptiles though so I was practically hopping up and down waiting to get to hold her.

well she definitely looks relaxed and one can tell shes cuddling you back in kind, you can get certain tiny crocs that can be kept as exotic pets out in america, nothing huge but they are the size of a small dog, though wouldnt recommend one because of how expensive they can be to keep

I would consider one as a pet if I had the money, though the only reptile I really want in particular is a bearded dragon. They've been in pet stores for years and they're always the spunkiest lizards on display xD Wanted one since the first time I saw them.

I'd like to wait til I have a large place though, I like giving animals roaming room and my guinea baby takes up quite a bit of space lol

ive had a spikey myself they are adorable and have alot of character to them, liked to lay on my back which was cute, my mum is planning to get betta fish after the dogs

My bf has 3 betta fish, they're umm...pretty ^^;

what all in the same tank? they are also quite intelligent as well for fish, much like a dog

Oh god no lol, all in seperate ones xD

Well, I mean, they clearly recognize us but fish usually can't do a whole ton. I like fish, just not really as pets. I like things I can cuddle.

heh yeah...providing it doesnt take your hand clean off

Well, they only animal I've ever been bit by maliciously is my bf's conure. I'm usually not too scared of animals injuring me ^^;

Cutie!!!

That is just so awesome! How did it react around you, it didnt bite your face off thankfully but I am genuinely curious! This is awesome.

She had a very similar mannerism to maybe a tired puppy, very gentle, and grabbed onto me as soon as I was holding her

Gator gator

That is sweet. :D

awwww dso cute, look a those big eyes too!~ X3 im curious it it let you rub its belly tooo?? X3

I was holding her by her chest and belly when I was placing her on my shoulder, so, yes? technically? lol

cutest thing ever <3 theyd be good protectors

Right? "Beware of gator cuddles" on your fence lol
