I am 19 years old (I live with my mother and have 2 dogs, a cat, and a some tropical fish. I live in the country in a medium sized house, with a HUGE back yard, but I have neighbors all around me.)

I am currently attending community college, but I plan to transfer to a university in two years.
I work primarily nights as a bartender, but I'm home most of the day when i'm not in school.
I really wanted to get a new pet (My mother said okay, as long as I take care of it.)
I wanted to get a reptile, but I'm worried about the temperature in my room (It's usually colder and since I live in NJ and it's almost fall, I don't want to get a pet and have it freeze...) I originally had my heart set on a ball python, but when I talked to my mother about it, she said no snakes (she hates them:[)
Then, I wanted to get a bird, but I'm nervous for it to flying around in my room and getting lost or getting into wires or papers.
I love love love fish, but I want something I can interact with.

(getting another dog or cat is out of the question.)

Animals I've had and took care of in the past: 4 Hermit crabs (wouldn't want one again :/), a parakeet, a spiny mouse, several turtles (red eared sliders and stinkpots), sea monkeys (haha! They count!!), dozens of fish, Shih Tzu dogs, and cats.

I don't need a pet that wants to cuddle or anything, but I would like to handle it/interact with it.

Thank you!
