    They look like Coati's, which are a relative of the racoon.

    I love coatis, lovely animals. Had one sitting one my shoulder for a while at the Pet Expo last year, though I was honestly surprised, I didn't think that many people had them over here

    I used to wonder why she didn't post here - too busy feeding & cleaning :D

    I wouldn't want to be a Degu with three constrictors nearby. I wonder if they look at the little furries & lick their lips !

    My neighbour was babysitting two Jack Russells & she has a big Python.
