A lot of people have got pets. But how many people have got unusual pets? Well, we know at least three!

Iggy

Kamal has got a pet iguana! He’s called Iggy. Iggy has got a long green body, four short legs, a small head and a long tail. Ig uanas are large lizards. They eat leaves and fruit. Iggy sometimes swims in Kamal’s bath! “I keep Iggy in a glass cage”, Kamal says. “Iguanas don’t like cold places!”

Harriet

Maggie has got a pet hedgehog! She’s called Harriet. Harriet has got a small round body with spikes on it. She has got white hair on her stomach. Harriet lives in the garden and eats worms and caterpillars. Hedgehogs can swim and run very fast, too! They look for food at night. Hedgehogs sleep from November to April. “Harriet sleeps in a big box in the garden,” Maggie says. “She can go out whenever she likes.”

Terry

Dana’s pet is a tarantula! He’s called Terry. Terry has got eight long hairy l egs. Tarantulas have got eight eyes, but they can’t see very well. They eat insects. Dana takes a good care of her pet. “I keep Terry in a glass cage with sand in it,” Dana says. “My friends are afraid of Terry, but I love him!”
