    Two critters come to mind....

    First, because of the danger factor, I will not be able to own one of these...


    A leucistic cobra.

    Second, because of legality, I will probably never be able to own one of these...


    Nutria!

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    I wish I had tropical fish, but I'll never keep them because of the time, effort, and work involved.

    I wish I had a horse, can't say never though.

    I said Horse, cattle, etc. It's not possible right now. Specifically a clydesdale LOL, I love clydesdales. I said frogs, snakes, etc because I cannot feed something live mice or insects. EW!! I want a green tree frog so bad lol. Turtles are illegal in New Jersey...

    And the pet I want most, A fennec fox-
    They are illegal in the entire US I believe. Very cute animals, and in some countries they are legal but I can't see moving out of a country just to get a pet lol.

    Oh, I remembered one that slipped my mind....
    Piranhas! For years I have been drooling over these fish, but thanks to the mean ol' state of Arkansas it is illegal to have them here. :-(

    Are you certain? Not too long ago I saw a Fennec Fox for sale at an exotic pet store in Missouri.
    He was a cute little bugger. :-)

    Edit/ I also found a Breeder Directory online. I am sure some states allow them as long as you have the proper licensing. I could be wrong, though.

    That Nutria eating a lollipop picture is too funny.

    I voted poultry, because I would absolutely love to have an African Grey, or Goffin, (or even an Amazon). However, I don't think I'll ever convince myself I am ready to have a toddler for that many decades .

    BTW, I love your screen name. Tragic hero, much? I was just thinking to myself the other day how nicely the name rolls off the tongue. Antigone Antigone An-ti-guh-nee... LOL!

    Look at yesterdays POTD, and he is in Illinois. They said they had to get a permit to own one.

    Nevermind - you already did.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I picked other as I currently have now or have in the past had most on the list of choices (well never a monkey and don't really want one..lol). What I would like to have is a Serval or Caracal but they are illegal here so I have to wait until I move. I didn't think these qualified under "cat" as I figured that be domesticated cat just like "dog" wouldn't be wolf or coyote so I picked other hope that was right. I also would like to have a Hedgehog and Arctic Fox too.

    I would have kind of liked to own a cat at some point in my life, but I am deathly allergic to them, so it was never even a remote possibility.

    I had ducks when I was a kid, and loved them. I would like to have some again if I had some land out of town and a pond, and of course, lived somewhere warmer! So, frankly, I'll probably never own a duck again.

    What I'd really like to own is a platypus, a koala bear and a seal. Hmmm ... I'm thinking probably not going to happen.

    I really want goats and a guinea pig. I've always loved goats, but have never been around them, until my boss adopted some from the shelter, and now I am really in love with goats.

    I really miss not having ducks and llamas around, so again in the future I will own them.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!
