An exotic pet is a rare or unusual animal pet, or an animal kept as a pet which is not commonly thought of as a pet.

The definition is an evolving one; some rodents, reptiles, and amphibians have become firmly enough established in the world of animal fancy to no longer be considered exotic. Sometimes any unique or wild-looking pet (including common domestic animals such as the ferret and the domestic rat) is called an exotic pet. "Exotic" may also be used for a species which is non-indigenous to the owner's locale.

Many major pet stores and service providers (such as veterinary insurance carriers or online retailers) tend to classify any animal besides cats, dogs, small birds or fish as "exotic".

Low maintenence, fairly exotic pet, lives in a tank?
Q. Hi, my brother would really like a pet of his own that lives in his room in a tank. It would have to be as low maitenence as possible as he dosent want something that take up all his time cleaning out etc. A fish would be ideal, but he wants preferably to have a more exotic pet eg a frog? I know this is a lot to ask and good answers very much appreciated. Thanks.
