We asked and you delivered! Here are some of the more unique pets living in Forsyth County. From snakes to lizards, to baby cows, donkeys and squirrels, all of these pets are cherished by their awesome owners!
Angela Green Price V. Green and her little brother, Jase B. Green, have the best pets any one would ask for: Three orphan cows ranging from a few days to a couple weeks old. Bottle feeding Asher, Hope and Champ two times a day is so much fun and watching them play and get special rubs and love from Price and Jase makes missing their Mom seem not so bad.
Grace Clark I keep quite a few exotic pets, mainly reptiles. I take them to educational events at local schools. This is my albino Western Hognose snake, Pumbaa. She is a fan favorite among family and students, thanks to her bright colors, calm demeanor, and upturned nose. Most people don’t realize that snakes are shy, misunderstood creatures. Pumbaa and my other snakes help people to overcome their fears and misconceptions. Snakes play a massive role in our natural habitats by reducing rodent populations, which in turn prevents the spread of disease, parasites and even house fires. Like many wild animals, snakes are more scared of you than you are of them, so the safest course of action is to leave them alone. Pumbaa hopes you all take this message to heart and have a wonderful, safe summer!
Alexis Mckinzie I raised three female squirrels when they were about 5 weeks old and just opening their eyes. I got them in October of 2018 and released them in April 2019. They visit occasionally for their whole natural almonds. They also love getting pieces of avocado. They have moved out of their nesting boxes and have found a nest box of their own. I may see two together in a day that visit but sometimes it’s just one. I used to be able to tell them apart when they were little but not anymore.
