From what I remember of my childhood pet stores were way more exotic in the seventies. I saw full sized Boa's and fish tanks full of baby alligators. This eventially died out in the eighties as more restrictions were placed on pet stores.

A friend of mine bought a cayman a few years back. After it outgrew its large aquarium, he put it in a stocked fishing pond out in the countryside of rural North Carolina.

With the ample supply of food, the large area in which to swim, and the warm summer temperatures, I can't help but wonder what happened to the poor fisherman that ran across him at the end of that summer.

I remember hearing that the crane games in Korea used to have hamsters in them at one time. I want to win live animals.

Yes, when alligators got too big, people started letting them out in ponds and small creeks. Some of them lived, and would attack dogs or even people when they got big enough.

Still pretty amazing that they ever sold those things to kids.
