Which pet is right for me?

I really want a pet im 13 and I want something i can stroke/pet, im a boy, it also has to be low maintenance, ive never had a pet before(apart from a fish). I really want a syrian hamster but then wanted a red eared slider turtle but then found out they carry salmonella so I think I want a hamster again. Please help me choose between them but dont say cat or dog because I dont want them. Its got to be a cheap pet aswell so could you recommend me a pet please. thanks!
