Keystone exotics says this:

 

If  you are a New Jersey resident and you want to purchase an animal from Keystone Exotics, you first obtain a pet permit and an importation permit from the NJ Dept of Fish and Game. Before they'll issue you these two documents, you'll need a health certificate. I can get this from my vet. You can't bring any animal into your state without at least these three documents.

 

How much is this gonna cost and how long does it take?

Yup the legal ones you buy are friendly and if you do your part with training them they can be really great pets. I don't have any other personal experience with any other breeders but there is plenty out there. Some in NJ too, just do some research on the breeder beforehand as the exotic pet world can be a very shady place. You have to obtain your permit before you buy so get that first.

Not sure how long it takes but should be pretty quick might be harder for you to find a vet. If you're having a hard time finding one let me know I know a guy in Hunterdon County

Raccoon seems like a perfect fit. Now to find some and get permits

Elephant.

Sure as long as you come over to clean his excrement. 

Just called a place for pricing on a coatimundis and kinkajous and their $2500! 

What's wrong with an exotic bird?

Wife aint into them.

they are annoying as shit, live forever, no good for camping and high maintenance. Just to name a few

yes the more exotic and unusual the more expensive usually. Then you get into color months such as albino and what not and the prices really jump up. Just remember that you get what you pay for.

How about an Otter? My Grandparents had them when I was a kid. Very playful and easy to take care of.

Mrs.z wants an otter.

Pot belly pig?

Or was that all ready discussed?

Thought about an otter but they need a pool or lake to swim in and I don't see any for sale. Wife really wants a pig but those things get huge!

If anyone gets a pet racoon I want an invite. I'll bring beer.

 

I can steal you a stray cat from work. Wild animal and pretty friendly.

Do the Vietnam pot bellys get big?

I'm 99% the Bohns had one. After they married into the hardware store.

She wants one of those teacup ones but I've seen those things get really big. At that point I'm chasing it with a knife.

What is rilly big?

I got a Chinchilla as a present once... worst present I ever got.

 

They clean themselves in a white dust, which gets everywhere. They crap all over the place... not disgusting wet crap, but little brown rice grains. They are predominantly nocturnal, so you are going to hear them bouncing off the walls. Very temperature dependent... so figure warmer summers (no nearby A/C vents, and not keeping the house at 68). Drafts aren't a good thing, either. Not a free ranger, either. But letting it run in its ball was fun (except the crap issue).

 

Pass on the chinchilla.

The pigs get big like 200lbs big. The ones that are really small are being feed a nutrient poor diet to slow/prevent them from growing property as juveniles. Those ones do not live long. According to my friend who does the whole 4H pig thing.

 

Yes pigs make good pets just not indoor house pets.

No midget or dwarf pigs?

Well there goes that party next year

200lbs is a dwarf pig. Pigs get huge.

phrasing?

I have no experience raising one... but I've always wanted a fennec fox. Adorbs!

4 baby fennecs taking a bubble bath! OMG. So cute!

 

Yup. Already looked into to those. Have you seen the prices?

No, too afraid! LOL. Bad?

At least $1500! Im still trying to find a raccoon with no luck. 

Well, I've seen puppies going for 1500. Don't get me wrong - it's a lot of cha-ching to plunk down. But, it's not as bad as some other exotics. Raccoon would be fun too though. Smart, curious - would keep you on your toes! Good luck with the search.
