What makes a pet exotic?
According to the dictionary, the only thing a pet requires to be considered an exotic pet is to be something that is not native to a certain region. However, under this definition any poodle or even a small cairn terrier or even a Siamese cat would technically qualify as an exotic pet. So there must be something else that sets the parameters as to what does and does not make a pet an exotic pet.
Further research suggests that exotic can also include anything that is considered “exotic in nature” or should be something that is unique and in some cases often misunderstood. This definitely seems like a much more applicable definition when it comes to exotic pets. I seriously doubt you could find any animal experts online who would consider the common alley cat an exotic pet simply because it didn’t grow up in the alley right behind your house.
Exotic pets are usually unique and relatively rare. In many cases, these are exotic snakes such as boas and pythons that people may keep for various reasons. Some people get exotic pets to overcome their personal fears. Other people may keep exotic pets because of a deep-seated passion for misunderstood animals and reptiles. Still, other people may keep exotic pets simply as conversation starters or as a point of interest to attract others and spark their interest in pets and animals.
