Do you have any pets besides cats/dogs?

I really want a pet.

Need something to take care of besides myself, plants and a ...baby lol (I don't have a child)

I don't have a pet but if I could and when I do... I was thinking of a lizard or a hedgehog! I've always though they were cute.

Also I recently learned that you can legally own a sloth??? I don't think they're easy to take care of though...

@InferenceEngine ew, not a lizard. I found a live baby lizard in my closet last week 😳. That's really cool. I've close up on sloths before but never go to touch one. They look very cute to me. They look like they're naturally smiling.

@iamnikki That's pretty spooky. I hope getting rid of it wasn't a hassle.

I've never touched a sloth either. I think I'd be too scared also. They look pretty serene but also fragile.

I (think) because of how slow moving they are and what you described in terms of smiling, it's also difficult to tell if they're actually happy or enjoying the environment they're in. So that's probably why a lot of effort goes in to taking care of them.

I was about to suggest a turtle but someone beat me to that haha They're cute and pretty chill!
Hope you enjoy them, if you go that route. :)

@InferenceEngine I babysat a mother and baby sloth for a day. I cannot fathom they would be legal to be owed but nevertheless you would need a very large enclosure with lots of trees so they can climb and it would need to be warm and well ventilated. Honestly they just need to be In The jungle

@InferenceEngine I nearly died. I drowned it in big spray then dumped it outside 😐
Now you're making me wanna go to a petting zoo. I've been to an aquarium where I got to pet starfish and sea urchins
