Some people like exotic pets. But there's a reason they call wild animals "wild". I know some rich people have tigers roaming around their property. All I can say is - not that they would ever invite me - but I would never go to their house even if I were invited.
But here is a real thing. There are exotic snakes that are illegal, but people buy them anyway. People would buy them but then get tired of them and flush them down the toilet. The snakes were slithering through the sewer and coming up in other people's toilets. Can you imagine getting ready to sit on your toilet and a snake's head pops up? It happened. I did not make that up!
