Question

and what is the most exotic

Answer 1

This can take some work to find out, and should be verified by personally talking to whichever agencies have jurisdiction in the area. Which agency has the final say varies a lot and depends entirely on where you live, as discussed in this article on finding out local laws.

The most exotic? Depending on your preferences. I for one like tarantulas

Answer 13

This depends a lot on what state and city that you live in.

For example, some metropolitan cities won't even allow you to own a Pit Bull, or other "vicious" breed. In fact, many states didn't even allow people to own ferrets until the 1990's (such as New Hampshire) because it was feared that they killed livestock - which is truly absurd!

Other states will allow you to own a wide variety of animals.

Check your state laws for animal ownership rights.  

Answer 14

I don't mean to sound like a crazy animal activist, but personnaly, I have issues with keeping exotic pets. There're not ment to be pets in the first place, like a dog or cat, and they can't be treated like a domestic pet either. Of course, you could always get a snake.
