There's a huge amount of people who is afraid of reptiles in general. In contrast, there is a lot of people who love them and have reptiles at home as pets.
The most popular reptile pets are pithons, geckos and other lizards like tritons. Snakes and lizards, such as iguanas, have to live in a terrarium enough big to allow them to move, with logs and earth to make them feel confortable, copying their habitats in the wild. They also need hot and humidity to stay healthy. They don't eat too much. Pythons eat one mouse a week, depending on the snake's size. Lizards eat some bugs and almost whatever you provide them. Reptiles are not loving animals. You can touch them, of course, but your pet will not bring that love back, and they must be used to pats if you do not want to be bitten.
On the other hand, mammals like cats, dogs and rodents are very popular as pets because they can live inside the house or a room, you don't have to worry about the humidity and it's easier to create a habit of feeding them everyday than feeding them just once a week, for example. Furthermore, they demand big part of our attention and affection to stay happy and healthy, and they will show you back their love.
Both reptile and mammals are good as pets, everything depends on our personal preferences and responsibility.
