  • Calirginia yup they like have no laws

  • As long at it is not a mountain lion, you can have one in Nevada. City regulations might be more strict in a given city on having the animal in city limits, but go to the rural areas and you can get one with out a license. Be sure to check both state, county and city laws.

  • You would have to get a master’s degree or doctorate degree in zoology and spend years training with experienced handlers. You would then have to save up thousands of dollars to get the required USDA permit and to build a suitable, safe enclosure. Then, if you actually get one, it won’t really be a pet. It will be a large, wild predator that you keep in a box. You won’t be able to play with it or pet it.

    Untrained people keeping dangerous exotic pets only ends in disaster. You may not have any issues at all for years, until one day, you drop your guard for half a second, or you inadvertently do something to make the animal mad, and it lashes out. You, your family and your neighbors will be seriously injured or killed and the animal will be destroyed. The guilt for that animals’ death falls squarely on the shoulders of the person who put that animal in that situation to begin with.

    Be prepared to pay a ton of money for homeowner’s insurance (if you could even get a company to cover you), food, and medical care (again, if you can even find a private vet that would treat a lion). These animals require very specific diets, habitats, and safety precautions. They are horrible pets, and it’s not fair to the animal, your family or your neighbors. Leave lions in zoos and in the wild.

  • Las Vegas with a distinctive permit and North Carolina does not require whatever however the proper capabilities, shelter and weight loss program for the animal. Look Up State legal guidelines on exceptional Pets on Google.

  • You cannot own a lion as a pet in any state in the U.S. However, you can get various degrees and certificates and work with them professionally. I do not agree with these laws, however, as I have always wanted my own pet hyena. Did you know, hyenas are more closely related to sloths than they are to dogs? Just a little fun fact, I’d share with you 🙂

  • None,,,zoos and wildlife refuges only.

    Do I have an over crowded tank?

    Answers Favorite AnswerDepends on the dimensions and the filter. I'd say it's right at the limit and certainly no more room for more fish. However, if you get a water testing kit and check the nitrate you'd know for sure.I would cut down the zebra danios to or so and get rid of the pleco. The Pleco may seem fine but they grow large. Instead of a Pleco add some Cory catfish, they would make a nice addition to your tank and are also a great clean up crew. Oh yeah and if you think "well I've had my pleco for a few years and it hasnt grown to fast, I'll just keep it" don't. That's just it's growth being stunted. I had a common Pleco in a gallon at one time for about years, he didn't grow much until I realeased him into my gallon pond. After just months he had grown more then ever before. My point is keep the zebra danios and not the pleco as harsh as it sounds.i hoped this helped and good luck!Source(s): Personal expirenceThe Pleco will need to be in a bigger tank probably within a year.

    is the russian dwarf hamster and campbell hamsters are the same?

    Answers Favorite AnswerThanks Cloud Nine I consider myself to know a lot about Hamster and even I have had a lot of trouble knowing for sure what species and breeds are which. Syrians are easy! But In the Dwarf family it goes like this.Russian,Chinese,Robo as being the main three I think people know are being different. But you also see these names from most to least common.Winter WhiteCampbellDjungarianSiberianProbably others as well... And I know that some of these are the exact same type of hamsters or very close hybrids etc. But your answer Cloud Nine cleared some things up however it's still a difficult thing to remember correctly. I personally have only had the campbell dwarfs I guess. And yes they can be aggressive etc. But it all depends on there personality. If your really luck, know what your doing and have a good cage setup most of the problems with caging them together or handling them can be prevented or reduced. Sometimes they are very friendly and it's kind of scary!Source(s): Owned Syrian Hamsters + Russian Dwarf HamstersThat's a tricky question to answer. There is the Russian Winter White dwarf hamster and then there is the Russian Campbell dwarf Read more

    WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST DOG YOU CAN GET?

    hi, I hope you can all help me!! I am trying to persuade my mum and dad to get me a pet i think if a dog was cheaper they would get me another one!! thanks xxThere are always free to good home ads in the papers. Adopting from shelters are usually fairly cheap.The problem is not the intial cost. Dogs are expensive, regardless of breed. Food, grooming, vet visits, neutering, shots, tags, toys, leashes, dog bed, collars, training, are a few of those expenses. Then if the dog gets sick, more money.The cheapest dog would be a dog you rescued from somebody who can no longer care for their dog. On craigslist, there are tons of people who have to find new homes for their dogs because they're losing their home. Many are offering their pets as free to a good home. There are some wonderful dogs out there that don't deserve to be put down.I'm guessing your parents realize the responsibility of owning a dog which means shots, grooming, walking, training, boarding at times, flea prevention products, heartworm prevention, healthcare. Maybe you could ask them in what ways you could help with the dog that would make them Read more

    Leopard gecko not ate in a while?

    Well, i bought a tangerine leopard gecko on the 8th of january 2013 to go with my male normal leopard gecko. He eats perfectly fine but everytime i feed her, she never eats anything? she might be eating mealworms in the night but im not so sure. Also, her poo is a little runny if you know what i mean?Update:please reply, i just really dont want her to be sick1 Answer? Favorite AnswerLike us geckos can get tummy bugs! Don't worry females often stop eating before they lay eggs. This may be the case if the two have been doing things don't worry but this may be a poosibility. Try feeding her a waxworm as they are addictive and geckos favourite food, don't however feed her many as this makes it worse, give he one or two if she eats them, this can be enough to bring her back onto her food. If she is on sand it may be impaction, this is unlikely if she was on sand before. (They eat carefully on sand because of this, she may not be used to it) if this doesn't work or settle take her to a vet, sometimes Geckos do this Read more
