hen you mention pets, the average thought is cats and dogs. But a visit to Exotic Pets and Supplies expands your appreciation of how many more living creatures can excite your life. Marissa McManus, store manager, can recommend reptiles, birds, fish and small animals that will entertain you, talk to you and become a close companion. Walk into the shop at 128 SE Park St. and you will be greeted by a colorful array of birds—large macaws and cockatoos, medium-sized brightly colored lorys, long-tailed cockatiels and the ever curious class clown, caique (kye-eek). Marissa’s caique, Mango, rides on her shoulder. In the reptile class she has bearded dragons that she raises in the shop. These can grow to about 24” and make excellent pets. She also has kid-friendly geckos, hermit crabs and ball pythons which can grow to three to four feet. In a tank at the front

Her display of both marine (salt water) and fresh water tropical fish is endlessly fascinating with colors to amaze and excite. She also carries feeder fish which are used to feed big fish or turtles as well as the very nutritional frozen food. They offer FREE water testing and advice.
Exotic Pets also has a full line of supplies for all the pets they sell including cages, tanks, food, housing supplies and toys. If what you need is not there, just ask and they will order it for you. They board birds and also do wing and nail trimming.
The small animal offerings include rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs. She cautions that anything with a

he water temperatures have climbed into the mid to high 80’s in many areas of the lake. Moving water areas are slightly cooler and the fish in those areas will be more active for longer periods of time. The hot weather has changed the bass bite over the last few weeks with catch rates dropping slightly, but still well above what is being caught in other freshwater areas of the state. Instead of catching 50 to 70 fish per outing on artificial baits this week we averaged 30 to 50. The bite is the best early in the morning right at first light and most days it has been very good until around 10 a.m. We are still experiencing a good top water bite catching 15 to 25 bass in the first couple hours if the bite last that long. A pop’r or a yellow magic have been the better baits, although an old school gold-colored broken back Rapala has worn them out several days too. I like to experiment with the many old top water baits I have in my box to see if they will still draw strike and many times they get the job done. As soon as the top water bite ends we switch to flukes, skinny dippers, senkos
or plastic worms. With the very hot water the fish are not actively chasing most times and a slightly heavier weighted slow moving bait has been key in our success.
