Which pet took you the longest time to find?
I got both Ankha and Magria on the same day.
Loque was a whisper from a warlock I did not know.
Gondria was stumbled upon while skinning!
Ban'thalos was two deaths from falling, but got the bird!
However, I really wanted Terrorpene! I spent close to a month, spending days of flying with Silverdragon and NPScan running. When I finally spotted the fiery turtle, I chased the turtle, trying to find a spot to tame from and stay in range. After many attempts, finally got her! I can still recall how I felt after this tame.

As for currently tamed. Evalcharr. On my horde hunter. Three solid days of camping (in 8+ hours stints) Rexiah camped there for him. Ah good times good times.
After that would be Arcturis. Which took two days.
Way back in the day though, right after WotLK came out, my alliance main camped Skoll for almost two weeks. So I guess that counts. That was another 8-12+ hours a day sitting there waiting.

Second longest? Probably some of the madexxes or Aotona (~6 weeks of steady camping).

Another one I think I've maybe seen once is Old Cliff Jumper. And again, that's only after they shortened the timer.
Technically, the pet that's taken me the longest to find is green Madexx, and that's mainly because I have never actually seen it. I've seen bronze, black and blue, but never green. I gave up a long time ago.

Re: Which pet took you the longest time to find?
One night, after our raid was done, I swung by Scholazar on a whim. I nearly had a heart attack when NPCScan went off and there was Krush, alive and well. He's one of the pets I'm never going to let go.

Re: Which pet took you the longest time to find?
Aside from him I mostly just picked up whatever rares I wanted since no one camped them before xrealm. I did have a few long waits on special tames though. I was the servers first 70 with chromaggus and it took two weeks for my little guild to help me get him. Something always went wrong at the last second. I died, got ccd, someone tried to save me with a heal and pulled aggro or someone left a pet on defensive. But they promised me chromaggus and they stuck to that oath. I think of them often when I use him.
Some challenge tames were also hard. flaming pig took a few hours of pathetic flailing around. I believe Kun Din with the rotating chain took two days involving several hours to get the timing just right. I got my chain kitty thanks to Shade.
my longest hunt overall would have to be the one I did for a friend. He really wanted Terrorpene but his raiding guild didn't give him much time to camp him so I offered to camp for him. on my shaman. who was 70. I was really creative I had to cook some food that gave me beast tracking, camp out at the edge of fel wood and use farsight to look for him. it took about a month but it was worth it.

Re: Which pet took you the longest time to find?
My first spirit beast was Gondria, it took me about a week to find.
I stumble upon Loque'nahak on a Christmas day, back when WotLK was current content. (I was so happy, I still belive to this day that I was a good girl then entire year and Blizzard wanted to reward me with something. hahaha)
I found Skoll while camping for the Time-Lost Proto-Drake, so it wasn't very long since I wasn't going after him.
I found Ankha the same day the Patch (insert number.number here :p) came out.
It took me maybe a week or two to find Magria AND Ban'thalos! (What makes me sad is they use the same model as Gondria and Gondria will ALWAYS be my favorite between the three.)
It took me over a month to find Karoma....I'm a Vanilla player and I was playing when the Spirit Totem Wolves were tameable, but only if you had good friends that would want to accompany you on your journey to tame one of those. I knew that I wanted one but they had the time to "fix" it before I got it. When I hear there was the SAME model coming out, I shrieked with joy and tried to find him as fast as possible....AT LEAST I HAVE HIM, RIGHT?? haha
I managed to grab Ghostcrawler at the beginning of Cataclysm, nobody was around besides me so I had the chance to grab him for myself.
Arcturis was probably the MOST annoying to camp. I had a few days off so I decided to grab him for myself. I had to wait 9 hours at his spawn point only to know that WHILE I was taming him, an Orc Warrior swooped down on us and killed it before my very eyes.....I was so angry that I stayed up all night for his next spawn....That's also why he is mine, now! hahah
The 3 porcupines were easy for me to tame...they were all there on the same day...doesn't make them as rare as I thought they would be...
I have Skarr and Karkin....they both were a pain to get because of other hunters trying to "kill" us or kill the pets themselves...terrible.
Death'tilac was fun to tame...I HATE spiders....but I love this one because she's purple! : ) Just Annoying to tame back when you were level 85.
