First I'd like to point out a mistake - frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders are NOT reptiles, they are amphibians!

I have had many pets in my life, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamster, gerbil, guinea pigs, chickens, parakeet, and turtles. One thing I like about the turtles over mammals is that they don't require much of me. As long as I keep them safe, clean and fed they are happy. I don't have to pay attention, pet them, walk them, play with them, etc. In fact, they would prefer I didn't!

So, if you don't have a ton of time to interact w/ your pet, a reptile may be the way to go!
