With any new pet, it's important to ask yourself what it is about that animal that makes you want it? Then do the right thing (especially for the animal) and
make darn sure you can and will meet their needs, otherwise it's a train wreck waiting to happen. If it's just the physical beauty you want to see every day,
then get a color poster or two...they'll last longer, cost less, & be a lot less trouble. There's always a few that defeat the odds and do well with difficult species
despite no experience, but the odds are not really in your favor. Team Slytherin brought up a great point about handling: remember that it's hard enough to
keep an eye on an animal's health when you can handle it, but when you can't, that's where experience comes in to know what you're observing & how to help
without hurting. Even with many years of experience, to me it's more fun to keep species that lend themselves to handling.
