Some exotic pets like birds (Lovebirds or Conures) or small reptiles (Geckos) make fine first pets, but other exotic pets require specialized care, habitat, and diets. Before deciding on which pet to bring home, make it your homework to research your potential pet thoroughly. Once you decide make your home ready and safe and find a local Melbourne vet willing to give check-ups or treat your exotic pet if it becomes ill.
