I have a dog (pitbull-boxer mix) a cat, a snake, 2
tokay geckos , and several fish tanks.
The fish are annoying as shit to clean tanks.....
The snake and gecko's are both very easy pets - recommended
The cat is easy, but annoying at times (meows at any closed doors)
The dog is moderately easy, take her on a daily walk, and just pop her outside in the mornings for bathroom use and she is fine (i take her on bike rides on weekends). She can be left alone for up to 12 hours without going in the house or tearing into anything - but she is rarely left alone for more than 6-8 hours.
