Owning an exotic pet can be one of the most thrilling and rewarding experiences you can have. However, without proper education and preparation, it can also be one of the most disastrous experiences.

Sharing your life with an exotic animal is a privilege and a responsibility not to be taken lightly. The responsibilities of exotic pet ownership should be considered carefully BEFORE you purchase the animal, and not after.

At Julie's Jungle, we raise a variety of exotic pets to meet most everyone's needs and abilities. As a service to you, we have provided detailed care sheets to help you research each species we offer, determine which exotic pet is best suited to you and compatible with your lifestyle, and help you to care for it responsibly. Please click on the links below to find out about each animal and it's basic care, diet, and housing requirements. Since the information you need concerns owning an exotic as a pet, these pages will be dealing almost exclusively with hand-raised animals and/or animals in captivity.

Please remember that the animal health and husbandry information contained on these pages is merely what has worked for us. Please realize that we do not claim to know all the answers about each animal, but can only offer you the best information we have based on our experience. This information is not meant to be a substitute for common sense and proper veterinary care. Remember that age, health, sex, metabolism and individual temperament can vary from animal to animal to dictate the proper environmental and nutritional requirements for each individual animal. Please use common sense and monitor your animal's condition daily. If you have questions, please consult your veterinarian directly if the health and welfare of your animal is in question.
