Back to the drawing board.

You can get him those little African Dwarf Frogs. They're totally aquatic and eat fish food and freeze dried worms and stuff. But you have to have a whole fish tank set up.

How easily do they croak? (no pun intended)

I had them many years ago but don't remember how long they lived. Here's some info.

They're hard to keep from what I've heard. Have to have the perfect humidity in their habitat or else they croak. Was it hard to keep the terrarium up? Could it be handled a lot?

I had one of them as a buddy for my Betta.

Hmm, looks interesting. I'll have to look into it a bit more.

Noah wouldn't be happy with that or else I'd get him some. He wants something he can hold. The issue comes in finding something that I'll touch. I have to be able to tolerate it since I'll be the one caring for it for the most part. No tarantulas, scorpions at all! Most frogs are out as are most lizards. For some reason I don't mind snakes at all but they eat mice and I'm not sure I want to subject N to the "food chain" just yet. A veggie lizard is good.

the boy's actually liked to be held, and they move sooooo slooow that they cant get away, and they dont bite.

As for the conditions, it wasn't too bad. you just had to mist the tank once a day, or set up a drip tube. We used a mister, basically a tiny garden sprayer.

My friend haas a baby Ball for sale. VERY friendly. I hold it frequently. He comes with tank and everything for $75 I think. He eats live or frozen so he wouldn't have to see the kill.
