Some of the oddest pets in the world

[Catherine]

I didn't notice the remark about dogs and camels welcome. Camels are cool. They just get a little big so you would need as much space as you need for an alpaca. Have you thought about getting camels?

I don't think anyone is a wuss for being wary of cobras. Remember I am wary of them and I handle reptiles all the time. A person who is afraid of a corn snake is a wuss. 

I would be a little more careful of the alligator with a small child. Maybe he knows the alligator well enough to know what is safe and what is not. After all I handle Barrie the 3 ft Tegu and yet I have seen him eat and know what he can do when he is hungry.
