Pets you wish you had
Basically, which pets you wish you could have but can't for whatever reason, besides the obvious that everyone's skint!
Here's mine: Chameleon - Would love one but i'm big on handling pets and most chameleons hate it. Corvid bird - Ravens, crows, magpies etc... Really curious, intelligent birds, with funny character traits (Likes shiny things, likes puzzles etc...) But they're wild animals, there's no domesticated corvid species that I know. If anyone could reccomend a domesticated bird as an good alternative to a corvid, please let me know ![]() Blood python - Impressive and beautiful looking snake, but would eat me upon oppurtunity. Gets too big for me to safely handle. I'll stick to the smaller snakes ![]() Big dog - Got a soft spot for big dogs, particularly German Shepards, I also like St. Bernards', great danes, mastiffs etc etc.... but just haven't the space! Plus hairy animals can play havoc if you've got sensitive skin like meself. |

A Doberman or Labrador. Both too big for my living situation and impractical because I have a cat - who hates dogs!

A Singapura cat to go with my Ragdoll and Maine Coone. Don't think my one bed flat could take it! They are very small though

When I kept pet rats, I always wanted a Capybara.
http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...P4z6aQUnSoSqGQ Obviously illegal and impossible in a London flat! Now I have a cat, I wouldn't mind a black panther (again illegal!), although if a big cat treated me the same as my little moggie does, I would be dead within a day.

A couple of tigers would be nice. Even one would do!

A Dalmatian - I will get one someday soon though
![]() A Tasmanian Pygmy Possum - So cute. I realise that they can carry disease though and according to my Gran they are real pests in New Zealand! Not exactly a suitable pet. Panther - Beautiful creatures, a bit impractical of course. I'll have to settle with my black kitties

Mine is quite simple - I've wanted a pug for years but as I have a cat who hates cat its not likely and having a horse means I don't have much spare cash for a dog

If the American Pitbull Terrier wasn't banned here, I'd have one.
They're great dogs, nothing like the demon-beast image that's perpetuated by the media. |

When I was younger and more able I would have loved a pony to look after perhaps a rescue one.
Now it would be a budgie but as I have two lovely cats I don't want to make the bird a nervous wreck by them watching him, so I stick to looking at the Budgerigar forum! lol. My son would love a German Shepherd but his working hours prevent him from having one. |

I'll stick to the smaller snakes ![]() Blood Pythons only get to 5-7 foot long so not big enough to have to worry about being eaten ![]() My list: A Monitor Lizard - trouble is they need a room of their own they're so large. A big cat - again needs a large cage and in addition a DWA licence. A Newfoundland Dog Thai Red Bamboo Rat Snake - possibility if I could find one. |

I have a black Labrador and 2 cats. 1 cat who is an ex Spanish Street cat who is really tough. At 14 years old he still follows me over to the park when I walk the dog. I have to tell him to behave when another dog comes near as he gets aggressive. I've seen him chase dogs off and now some of regular dogs in the park just leave him alone and others are pretty good friends with him.
A horse A family of meerKats (but not as pets just living in close vicinity to me as I would love to live in southern Africa) |

I would love a chinchilla! Unfortunately it's not possible for me to have a pet as the responsibility is just to much at the moment. They look like lovely little creatures!

I would love about 10 more cats (I have 3 at the moment). But the only way I could get that many is if I won the lottery and could move to a big house in the country with lots of space for them all to live in.
I would also love a panda, but I don't think you can class them as pets. |

I really want a golden retriever
![]() Hubby has said we can have one when we build our house as a pet. We have 3 working collies (a mum and her 2 pups which are in training) but i'd like a dog more as a pet. |

I always wanted a real monkey when I was a kid. But now I know they're deadly!
