i've kept reptiles and small rodents. honestly, i get the most reward out of my dog and cats. they're the pets that love me back. i also find it easier to spend time with them because they can seek me out when they want something, as opposed to a caged animal that i may "put off" handling because i don't feel like opening the cage and trying to make them sit with me while i work on something. my opinion may change in the future, when i'm not in school (on year 7) and have actual free time to invest in other things/hobbies.
that's why i can have so many arachnids... i don't handle them. just give them a comfortable place to live, provide food and water, and watch them.
