Note

For the platonic sentence starters I choose ❛ i am this close away from strangling you. ❜ and let’s have this be between Della Duck and Goldie O’Gilt

People must be born obnoxious. Monstrously, migraine-inducing, brain-poundingly obnoxious from the moment they tumble into the world, filthy and screaming and absolutely useless. That would be the only explanation for something so small being so utterly proficient at making Goldie genuinely question whether jamming icepicks in her eardrums would be worth the pain in exchange for blessed silence in the trunk of this car.

"Red-eared slider, tuartua, leopard gecko, regular gecko," the pipsqueak of a weasel of a fetus rattled on. How a voice could be so loud coming from a locked luggage case was beyond her. "Anula, a moorish gecko, can't forget that, gila monster, crested gecko-"

"Kid, I'm begging you."

"And of course, the monitor lizard. I haven't licked a king snake yet, but that's not an amphibian, but it's definitely on my list. Okay, your turn. If you could lick any reptile, what's on your top fifty?"

Goldie bit at the leather straps binding her wrists. The ones at her feet cut into her ankles.

"Which one kills me the fastest?"

"That's an excellent question," the kid said, and Goldie suddenly regretted every moment she ever saved herself from near-death. She couldn't think of a single one that would be worse than this.

"Wait," the kid said, "You should have been listening, because if you were listening, you'd know I already said it, so I'll give you a hint-"

Goldie kicked at the roof of the car trunk. It didn't budge. This was it, her personal hell. All of her sins were coming crashing down on her in the form of a six year old stowaway in her uncle's stolen suitcase.

"Kid, I'm gonna be real with you," she said, "I'm not big on murdering minors. Unless they deserve it. But, and I mean this in the most kid-friendly way possible, I'm about this close to strangling you."

The suitcase hopped a bit. It hopped a bit nearer.

"What are you doing..."

"If you're this close," the suitcase said, "That means you'll have to let me out."

"In that scenario, your chances of survival go way down, short stuff."

"But yours go way up."

Goldie ceased kicking at the trunk.

"How'd you get there?"

"Because my hand can probably get through the tail-light hole and wave for help. Nobody stops for gross old lady hands, but everybody stops for kids."

Goldie stared at the underside of the trunk for a long moment, debating whether or not Scrooge would buy a story about his niece falling out of a moving car in a locked suitcase by accident.

He might, actually.

She kicked at the trunk roof again. She gave the suitcase a good kick, too, for good measure. Accidents happen.

Top 10 Trending Exotic Pets

The most natural thing to think when someone tells you they have a pet is that they have a dog, a cat, a bird (canary, parrot or parakeet) or a little turtle. But what if someone tells you they have a black scorpion as a pet? The surprise is huge, whether it's an urge for attention or just want to learn more about an animal thousands of miles away from its natural environment. We want to make clear the necessity to buy legitimate animals in order to get their paperwork in hand in this article on exotic pets that are chic.

INFORMATIVE NOTICE:

It is not intended to support the illegal trafficking in exotic animals that we echo the exotic pets that are in demand. Nor does it accept the absence of these species' interests, but rather opposes the absence of awareness that human beings are done more and more often than not, treating actions as they fall before the empty eyes of those around them, without even asking what the consequences of their actions are.

TARANTULA

Tarantulas, that species of spider covered all over its body with hair, and larger than usual in size, have become very fashionable as exotic pets, but if there is one thing that should be clear to us, it is that they are not at all violent animals, as long as they are not disturbed or made to feel in danger. Although if there is one thing that should be obvious to us, it is that they are not aggressive animals at all as long as they are not bothered or forced to feel in danger. if this is your first preference, there are a few more docile tarantula types. If there is one thing that should be clear to humans, that is that they are not dangerous animals at all as long as they are not threatened or made to feel in danger And they have a simpler treatment system.

So you should be particular about the space where the tarantula will be since the terrarium is not the same as for a python for this type of animal as for a lizard. Although they could be in small locations, it is preferred that they be in large areas with many divisions where they can pass. And as for any of these species, you ought to have a doctor who specializes in these animals, not just to let you know about their treatment, but also about their medications and to chat about their actions.

GECKOS

This lizard was once considered to be malicious and was even able to scare away anybody who wanted to get close to it by spilling blood out of their eyes. The truth is that all this is more a story than anything else, because this little lizard does not bite, it is not dangerous and in fact it is beautiful, with a skin full of colors. In reality, depending on where they reside, they have a great capacity to produce various colors.

Although, don't you think it would be much more precious to see it in its natural habitat?

VIETNAMESE PIG

I have honestly had doubts about whether to include the Vietnamese pigs in this article because they are becoming less and less exotic, as seeing a person walking around on the street is no longer a rarity but has become normalplace. But, yeah, since we really don't see them as much as some more famous ones do, we're going to continue to see them as exotic. George Clooney, who was one of the first to have this animal as a companion, made it trendy. After introducing it to society, sales soared almost everywhere in the world and houses were filled with Vietnamese pigs. However, with the Vietnamese pig we want to make an appeal: Care of it before you give it away or buy it because it weights up to 50-100 kilos. Just as it became fashionable and sales skyrocketed, some time later, abandonment and calls to the protectors also became very common, because the little pig was very funny when it weighed 6 kilos but with 50 kilos it was not so funny anymore. George Clooney has everything you need to be able to raise these pigs, so whether you have a farm or a house with a wide garden, it will not be responsible to have him as a pet.

CLOWN FISH

Clownfish, from the family of Amphiprioninae, are easy to care for and do not require anything special for maintenance when working with saltwater species, any more than usual. They are very beautiful and showy fish, glad to share tanks with other species, including surgeons.

One characteristic of clownfish, besides their colors and their arrangement, is that clownfish are able to change sex as needed. But beware, 90% of clownfish come from catching in natural areas, it is a protected species. Because we kill many local people, we have to try to avoid buying.

ANTS

Having exotic spiders in the house can be very dangerous and even in some cases complicated. But there is a type of animal that is simple to maintain and that does not present risks, which is why they have become fashionable, the ants.

It is a smart idea to create an ant farm to get an exotic pet that doesn't need upkeep. The ants are clean, tidy and very easy to handle. We will get to know the organizational nature of an ant farm, how they work as a team and how their social relationships work.

WALLABIES

Wallabies are rare animals to see as pets. They are marsupials, just like kangaroos which look very similar, although with shorter legs and a much smaller size. They are very docile animals and get used to humans quickly especially if there is food involved. They are curious and very skillful, but for peace of mind, they still need their space.

SIKA

Sika is a type of deer with special characteristics: they are docile and easy to raise and maintain. The preferences of the Sika are restricted to having a large room in which they can run and breed in peace.

They are shy beasts, and they shed their shyness as soon as they reach humans. In the rutting season, they are not ferocious, although other deer in the rutting season may develop aggressiveness.

MOORISH GUINEA PIG

A beautiful and very sweet rodent, it is also known as tuco-tuco or Moorish Guinea pig. With a ball-shaped round body and almost no tail, it looks pretty much like a regular guinea pig, despite being much more suspicious. Without complications, it can reside in a terrarium or in a cage. It is a genus which is very docile. It may be one of the most sought-after pets and because of all its characteristics and the innocent look, ideal for being a domestic animal.

IGUANAS

The multiple types of iguana that exist have become one of the most popular exotic animals in recent years. Although within all the types it stands out the green iguana, which is probably the most natural pet within its family. They are attractive, omnivorous and fully docile creatures, even though their presence can make them seem hostile. Moreover, since they are very independent, they blend well into a house and have no trouble living with other persons. The iguanas are not going to come looking for you to scratch them or to feed them, though. They can sit on top of you because they like the heat you give off or eat from your hand if they're hungry, but usually they won't come near you. Never force the situation or bother to try to teach them to come when you call them, you will most likely waste your time.

LEMUR

On the Internet it has become tremendously popular, as its big eyes and how friendly they are has led to many videos being broadcast about them. More people live in Madagascar, and that's where they're supposed to be, don't you think? If you want to see a lemur up close, you can go to the zoo and if you want to see it in a natural setting, save up for a trip to these lands, but don't recommend accepting lemurs as a species. They have many peculiarities. They have multiple peculiarities, a male lemur is more docile than the female, something totally opposite to most other species.

SQUIRREL MONKEY

Although there is a tale of a monkey, this one seems to be tiny and manageable, and its lifetime is 20 years. The squirrel monkey has been in demand among the wild animal populations that some have at home, also known popularly as the "titi" monkey. It requires special care, to be educated from babies and as they have a veterinarian specializing in exotic animals. Unfortunately there are people who claim that a monkey in captivity is healthier than seeing him grow up in his own habitat and be raised in nature.

SUGAR SQUIRREL

This tiny marsupial is a hamster-like thing, but you have to be very careful of the kind of animal that escapes. As it is an animal that is very tender, it is also known as a petaur. He also needs to be with animals like him and if they live alone, they can suffer from depression or self-harm.>/

MANTIS SHRIMP

Strange mix between mantis and shrimp, which live approximately 3 to 4 years in captivity. How long do you think they'll be free to live?. It has become a trendy animal companion for people who want to house exotic animals. It has several properties and among them stands out the one that can move its eyes independently from each other, it can capture infrared and ultraviolet rays. It can also capture four types of linear polarization and two of circular polarization, so it can detect small and transparent animals for feeding.

PEREZOUS

Although it is a temptation to have one of these specimens given its beauty, we would suggest that sloths are at risk of extinction and animal traffickers trade in different parts of the world, so if you buy one, you not only add to their faster extinction.

BENGAL CAT

In general, the bengal cat is a very active and affectionate cat, but in order to enjoy a full life, let's not forget that it is a wild cat who needs his own world and his own. It doesn't have to be a kitten, it isn't a pet, it wants to be alive.

BLUE MACAW

It's a blue macaw that I love. Native to South America, the color is very amazing and after the animated movie Rio, it has become trendy as an exotic pet to have at home. It's a lovely and charming bird who usually loves a lot of company, and if you have one, you should really propose that we buy a partner so that it doesn't get sad. Don't you think it would be better to see it fly free, in its natural habitat and find its own partner?. The Hyacinth Macaw, also known as the Violet Macaw, is one of the largest macaws in the world. It is cobalt blue in color, with violet wingtips and a lower part. His tail is gray, while his jaw and eyes are light. Typically, although they're really noisy, they're a pretty quiet type of animal. It is also said that they are one of the most loving birds of all. It is very necessary that they closely observe their diet because it is very delicate.

KINKAJOU

It's an odd breed that Paris Hilton popularized, so it's worth noting that this little animal raced her to the hospital. They live between 23 and 40 years and although it may seem quite peaceful, the truth is that it is not advisable to have it at home, like everyone else, because it needs care and space to grow and live in a healthy way.

COATI

I always find it hard to see why we have a bad habit of wanting to tame wildlife, to humanize creatures, to take them too far from their instincts, their climate, their habitat, their living conditions. This is the case of the coati, with an elongated nose and colors reminiscent of the raccoon, it seems that there are also those who find it fun to have this little one as a pet. Know, it's a very restless, mischievous and dangerous beast as it will open the cabinets and make a mess of what you find, the description they send of it. Their diet is omnivorous.

CIVET

The civet is a nocturnal and carnivorous animal which is not known to have been accidentally or willingly introduced to Europe. There are many unknowns around it, since it was a pet that got wild, to the subsequent use of this animal as a pet to eliminate other animals that haunt the houses. Be that as it may, their habitat is the woods and they like to climb, they hunt alone and are easy to bite.

DESERT FOX

It is a cute animal and easy to domesticate, but it is absolutely unethical to keep it as a pet, as it is an endangered breed. Originally from Africa, a nocturnal animal typically builds a burrow to a depth of 10 meters (mostly found in the Sahara Desert and the Sinai Peninsula). From berries to rats, beetles, fish, etc., his diet is very diverse.

BATS

Sometimes we reach surrealism, it's true. Also bats, specifically the fruit bat, have become one of the most fashionable exotic pets. They are considered to be patient, docile and respectful creatures. It feeds on fruit and wants you to make it fly home, as its name suggests (length to the right to fly within four walls...).
