We love cats and dogs. Yet as much as we do, they might not be the right pets for you. It may be because of allergies or time or space. Maybe you just love them at a distance, but can't imagine yourself living with a cat or dog.

Luckily, Earth is brimming with diverse creatures, and there's no doubt that one of them would make the perfect companion for you and your lifestyle. For you night owls, sugar gliders are a cute companion who will burn the midnight oil with you. If you're just looking for a scaly version of dogs, check out bearded dragons, the dogs of the reptile kingdom. Vocal's creators care for all these animals and more. That's why I've gathered some of the best guides for caring for exotic pets, so that people who do not want to go the traditional pet route don't feel like they have to go it alone.

Give them a read, leave your favorite stories a tip, or share some of your experiences with exotic pets as well.
