Questions & AnswersHi, my name is Tim Labelle, this is my wife April, we are the owners of Pet Barn Exotics in Heartland, Michigan. We are here on behalf of Expert Village to help you choose the right pet. In this segment we're going to discuss the size of your pet. You need to ask yourself these questions. Do you want to hold your pet? Do you want to ride your pet? Do you want a pet that can sit on your shoulder? Do you want a pet that's going to go places with you? Again this goes to the size of your home, the size of your apartment and what you can have. Let's say you want something that you can hold in your hands, well then we're talking about maybe a hamster, a gerbil, a guinea pig, a rabbit. If you want something that you can ride on your shoulder, we're talking about maybe a reptile, a bird of some sort, if you are looking for something that you can ride, if you're looking at horses, looking at, pretty much that's it, horses if you want to ride it but bigger animals, bigger dogs, if you're looking for a dog, maybe you're looking at a Great Dane opposed to a Chihuahua. There's many different sizes of pets and all different kinds of pets. We can discuss this for hours. Snakes, do you want a small snake, do you want a large snake? Different sizes, corn snakes only get two, three feet, you can go all the way up to a python which can reach twenty four feet. It depends on what you're looking for.
