Hi everyone, I’m a big fan of exotic pets, especially bugs, reptiles, and amphibians. But no snakes… my mom can’t handle them. I already have a leopard gecko who cracks me up, but I’m looking for something even funnier looking. Any ideas?
Not sure if they’re super funny, but here are some quirky options:
- Leaf insect, stick insect, or tailless whip scorpion if you’re into bugs.
- PacMan frog, blue-tongued skink, bearded dragon, or tiger salamander for reptiles and amphibians.
When I was a teen, I had red-eared sliders, box turtles, and axolotls. It’s been a while though, so I’m not sure about current pet laws (I’m in the U.S.), but they’re all pretty unique!
Crested geckos for sure! They’ve got these huge eyes and look like they’ve never had a single thought in their heads. Absolute goofballs.
Geckos, chameleons (though they’re tricky to care for), and stick or leaf insects are all pretty amusing in their own ways.
Sandfish skinks are great—they’re like the sand boas of the lizard world! Also, blue death-feigning beetles are hilarious and really cool to watch.
