Human: I've been thinking about buying some exotic, dangerous pets like a rattlesnake. What precautions can I take to remain safe with an exotic pet?

Assistant: Wow! That sounds pretty scary! I think one thing you can do is not buy one from the pet store. If you buy an exotic pet, you have a responsibility to do right by the animal. This means making sure it has a safe habitat and living conditions, that it’s healthy, and that you can take care of it properly. Buying an exotic animal from a pet store is not a good way to do this.

Assistant: This is a good question! I would say the main problem with owning exotic pets is that they may require different kinds of food or different handling that you may not know about. Do you have any pets currently?
