When I was a teen in Derby, there was a chap in Alvaston whose entire garden was a cage for his Clouded Leopards.
They kipped in the house with the humans and were free to roam the (huge) caged garden.....trees to climb, big pond to swim.
As kids we thought it was pretty cool.
Not so much now
I had a 'marmalade' tabby 25 years ago who was deadly around dogs (particularly) but partial to hares and rabbits. He weighed in around 38 pounds and kept the 'hood clear of pretty much everything non-human.
Why on earth would a pet shop have one of these anyway? Presumably to sell it on to Joe Public for whatever reason, but I just can't see it I'm afraid.
"Did he use 6ozs of John Innes or only five?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a Cumbrian Pot Leek, the largest leek variety in the world and would win first prize at the world leek and onion championship at Ashington, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
Looks like him as a kitten....

You do astound me

Wolves in Bedfordshire ( from the article) There is the Anglian Wolf Society,
open to the public on limited days, I'm not quite sure what they are trying to do TBH, they claim "conservation" but while they are imprinting them, its hardly conservation.
Having spoken to a few that work there, the miond boggles as to what they are trying to achieve save raise funds to buy more wolves to breed and imprint to raise more money to buy .... well you get the idea
I used to own 2x 16 foot Indian ( Burmese) pythons that I raised from hatchings, They'd give you quite a nasty hug should they be so inclined.
No licence required, I've had a few other "bits and pieces" in the past, when you could still import various exotics, well before there was the need for DWA licence(s), CITES or anything else.
Consider this, you breed them for a few generations, and have kept them for years, and no one knows you have them.
Just don't take the Cheetah down Tesco's ( I know it says no dogs, but it doesn't say no cats
I slowly cleared my stuff out when the kids came along, ( the Mrs wanted the bedrooms, damned unreasonable I thought! )
It was a mere pup when I got it, but @ a little over 4 feet and it went off to a private collector / breeder who had a female and *needed* a male.
Quite a few I would imagine.
We had his brother too. He eas around the 14 pound weight (also a marmalade). I think he just acted the part compared to the big fellow. His 'freak' attributes were 7 and 6 claws on the front paws and 6 and 5 toes on the rear. Freaky trail in the snow.
