This is the research that I have found:
[|Rodents] such as hamsters, gerbils, rats, and guinea pigs do not require any kind of special environment, expensive equipment, or particular temperatures to thrive. They are furry, cute, warm, and children develop a strong attachment to them quickly. The downside of having a rodent for a pet is that it tends to have a strong odor if its cage is not cleaned frequently. They may also bite if they are provoked, and are often very fragile. Younger children should be closely supervised when handling small rodents, or you should institute a "hands-off" rule to avoid accidental rough handling.

Some [|reptiles] are beautiful to look at but are delicate or poisonous and shouldn’t be handled by children. Others are more hardy but require elaborate and expensive habitats, with heat. Most snakes and large lizards eat [|rats and mice], which may be a frightening thing for small children to witness. Some reptiles, such as the [|Leopard] Gecko, appear more harmless, can withstand more handling and can therefore thrive better as a class pet.
