I want to hear from the people with pets like centipedes, prarie dogs, alligators, scorpions, vultures, octupus… What is taking care of your pet like?

    I've fed the wild ones snails as they seem to think they're pretty awesome. Would that be an option for domestic? Or do you run the risk of giving them whatever diseases wild snails have that they may not have a built immunity to? I suppose the possibility a snail has been poisoned is a risk too…

    I think I've just answered my own question. Thanks for observing my stream of consciousness.

      Well, I don't put snail poison in my backyard, and I doubt snails are covering great distances after eating poison elsewhere, so they're probably reasonably safe. I've already fed it crickets I've caught in my yard without any issues.
