We've had this alot in the past but it's always fun to bring up and chat about :)
If money / space / time isn't an issue what would be your number 1 pet?
For reptiles I really want to get myself a monocled cobra (And will! ... one day!) they're the most beautiful snake in my opinion and they require alot of respect and discipline it's something I desperately want to put myself to the test with.
I'd also love to get a bird of prey, I'm currently doing some falconry training so hopefully that won't be too far away I'm hoping next year to get a hawk :)
My girlfriend really wants to get a caiman and a huskey but I don't think we'll be doing that anytime soon haha! Although we always said if we ever win the lottery we'll build a big outbuilding with a caiman enclosure in it next to a bar ^^ Would love to sit and enjoy a drink with a croc' swimming next to me. |

+1 for a bird of prey
They're the most beautiful, majestic animals
I'd love an emerald tree boa but they're harder to find than hens teeth, I'd love an eyelash viper too, they look so cool

I'd have a dinosaur. With enough time, money and space they can be brought back. I saw it once in this documentary called "Jurassic park".... |

I'd love a tiger I think they are incredible animals. Reptile wise I think it would be either a spitting cobra or eastern diamondback rattler |

That savannah cat is domesticated and can be trained like a dog just never see one for sale so couldn't say how much of a hole they would put in your pocket lol |

I'd be more worried of the holes it may put in the children of the neighbourhood. |

If there were no hurdles at all I'd have a complete animal sanctuary! Some might say I have already but with enough room and funds I could take and help so many more!!!!  |

Thanks for the link :-) my partner wants a cat after xmas so my compromise was it has to be a large breed I've been looking at Maine coons and Bengals which are more affordable but the savannah would be awesome just looked at another site and 4th generation ones are up for £3200 for breeding or £1500 for pets not sure how they work that though they must neuter them if its just a pet to stop you breeding |

Indian Elephant.
Ridiculously intelligent and the few I've met were the most amicable non humans I've ever met as a stranger.
Only drawback is the amount of food they go through... |

If I could I'd have a dragon always found them amazing even if they are fictional. My other options are a bit more down to earth, and have been mentioned already 1, Tiger and 2, bird of prey/raptor. |
