Herrera’s Mud Turtle
Herrera's mud turtle (Kinosternon herrerai) is one of the fiercer mud turtles — looking like a tiger-striped razorback but with the pugnacious personality of a narrow-bridged musk turtle. A rewarding but pricey and aggressive captive that is best kept alone.
Brazilian Orange Tarantula
The Brazilian orange tarantula (Nhandu carapoensis) is a large, striking New-World tarantula from the Brazilian rainforest. Its urticating hairs are more irritating than most and it is nervous and quick to kick hair, so it is best left to experienced collectors rather than first-time keepers.

Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta splendens)
The Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens), native to Thailand, is one of the easier ornamental fish to keep, but two adult males will fight on sight—never keep more than one mature male per tank. Its vivid form and color make it a favorite among aquarists.
White Chinchilla
The white chinchilla is a coat-color morph of the chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera), native to the Andes of South America. It likes dry, cool, dim places, is nocturnal, gentle and very timid, and commands a higher price for its pure white coat.
