10. A Sugar Glider
For around $200 one of these cute little sugar gliders could be all yours. These marsupials are native to the Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesian regions but they are bred here in the United States with certified breeders who have a permit. They’ve become quite popular in recent years and bond with their owners remarkably fast, so you will need to spend a lot of time with them.

9. A Skunk
When you think of a skunk you don’t automatically think of these stinky mammals as pet material. Yet, in some states here in the US it’s perfectly legal to have a skunk as a pet with the exception that you first have the animal’s scent glands removed, which is kind of cruel as it’s their most effective defense mechanism. Plus, skunks are nocturnal which means anyone who values their sleep should not get one.

8. A Wallaroo
Wallaroos are called so because their size is a tiny bit smaller than a kangaroo but they are larger than a wallaby. There are only four species of wallaroo that are native to Australia and these animals need a lot of space to jump around and dig, which is one of their favorite things to do. Sometimes they can dig holes that are up to 3 feet deep.

7. A Capybara
Know as the largest living rodent on earth, the capybara is definitely an unlikely pet. They usually grow to be around 100 pounds and are becoming quite a popular alternative to cats and dogs. Most notably they can be trained, though not always, and some have even been certified as therapy animals. These animals do require a large amount space and prefer to live near a large body of water as they are semi aquatic.

6. Piranhas
Piranhas are small but they sure are fierce considering that they’re able to strip flesh off with their sharp teeth. Piranhas are found in the waters of South America but they’ve been showing up in other areas with bodies of water because it’s believed that the owners of these fish are just getting rid of them. This could prove to have ecological consequences to the native area.

5. A Python
Pythons can grow to be extremely long with some of them measuring up to 17 feet long. That being said, you’d think these enormous animals would be quite a challenge to care for. However, that’s not the case here. See, certain species of pythons are pretty docile and can be cared for pretty easily. Some of them also come with special mutations that enhance their appearance and have said to been sold for thousands of dollars.

4. A Capuchin Monkey
This species of monkey, like most, are extremely clever and have been made famous by the media in productions such as the tv show Friends and the Night at the Museum franchise. These primates demand a vast amount of interaction with others of its kind and tend to become quite aggressive when it reaches sexual maturity. Remember, just because you can legally own one of these with a permit in certain areas doesn’t mean that you should actually buy one of them because often times they get abandoned by their owners.

3. A Squirrel Monkey
These adorable little monkeys are found out in the tropical forests of South and Central America. They typically only grow to be around 2 pounds because of how relatively small they are but they actually have the largest brain out of all the other primates. These monkeys are very affectionate and social creatures that require lots of attention. Keep in mind though that they do cover their limbs with their own urine in order to mark their territory. A baby squirrel monkey can cost up to $800 dollars, while an adult can be anywhere between $1,000-$1,400.

2. A Chimpanzee
Chimpanzees are one of our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom but that doesn’t mean that they should be living with us in our houses. While chimpanzees are legal to own in certain areas of the US, it should be noted that mostly male chimpanzees can have rather aggressive natures and can attack without any given warning at a moment’s notice. Some owners have even had their entire faces completely destroyed because of the primate’s sheer strength that out matches a human’s by 5 times.

1. An Alligator
Alligators are one of nature’s most ferocious living creatures what with their destructive bite force and notorious death roll. So why would keeping one of these as a pet be completely legal? To be more specific, this is only allowed in the state of Florida, where it’s one of the two states estimated to have a gator population of more than 1 million, the other being Louisianna. Further restrictions state that you must obtain a special permit in order to keep the Class Ⅱ animal, with the exception of American alligators. Since there are only two species of alligator alive, that means you’d only be able to keep a Chinese alligator.
