I don't promise to abide by the results, of course, but I am trying to draw on collective wisdom.
This will be the first pet I've cared for other than freshwater fish. I will be the primary caregiver (does that term apply to pets?). I want the learning curve to be easy.
We have a spacious house and a tiny fenced yard without any shade. The animal would be indoors most of the time, outdoors only when supervised. We are in a quiet neighborhood, so walks are entirely feasible.

aristeros is allergic to some cats. The floor of our house is not carpeted, except for the bedroom.
aristeros is out of the house most of the day for work. I will be out of the house half the day twice a week this coming spring semester, and for a couple hours at a time on the other weekdays. We go on trips out of town about twice a year.
If there's any other relevant information I should add, comment to that effect and I'll edit the post accordingly.
