Pick me a pet

[sonneti]

Thinking of getting a pet, not a dog or cat as I live in an apartment. Which pet should I get?

A fish tank looks pretty good but I don't think it's really what I'm after. I want a more hands on kind of pet.. but not one that [censored] everywhere.

Was looking at turtles but they can't be handled very much either.. look quite cool though and shouldnt live for more than a few years.

Rodents, Birds, Spiders & snakes are a no no.

Anyone have an ideas?
