1. Do all the research you can on sveral particular species; find out what their needs are in terms of housing, diet, lighting, legality of ownership in your state/county/city.
2. Consider the longevity of several species, and what that means in terms of your life down the road.
3. Consider adopting one from the local animal shelter or humane society instead of buying one from a pet store.

hehe yep  i also have reptiles and amphibians..in my area (as i used to work at vet hospitals) i haven't found anyone giving away what i was thinking about, shelters don't have any in my area either (i've checked recently)-all cat's and dogs pretty much
I'd get another parakeet maybe, but that's still a sore subject for me....so yes been totally doing the research needed....i'm just seeing the opinions of what you guys like best, I know when my heart is ready I"ll make the right choice, thanks!
