The next pet I'll get will probably be a dog in a few years time. I'd love to own a pet but for the next few years I'll be travelling extensively and I know it wouldn't be fair on the pet.
My dad is however thinking of buying a turtle. They make fascinating, unusual pets but of course potential owners must be willing and able to commit to owning a turtle for 50 years. So perhaps I'll share a turtle with my dad while I live with him and take on the ownership once he's older.
Since you are planning on traveling, a small snake might be an ideal traveling companion. They are quite easy to hide away, I think. Plus, the last I checked, they don't eat that much. Also the sight of a snake around your neck while you are sleeping should deter a lot of unwanted intruders.
