P.s. if it isnt a good idea. I was opting to maybe get him started with a pair of american toads. Since I had em once(catch and release) and they're fairly simple.
I wanted to get him a pair of captive bred ones though. Cause I wanna make sure they arent carrying anything on them if you get my point. Iam also kinda against now of taking animals straight from the wild(kinda grew up a bit from last year). Sooooo. What do you think? Is an american toad a good opt for a 15 year old guy? Hes very persistant like myself, he loves amphibians but hes mainly interested in the true bufo family. Such as myself. Kinda like a brotherly thing. Although he does like treefrogs. I thought a toad would be easier on him. Does anyone know a good breeder or online store that sells high quality, captive bred american toads or other toads?
(yuh Iam a bit selfish when it comes to my pets. Hahaha, I just wanna make sure she isnt too much for him.)
I just want him to have something that he can occassionally look at and if the toad allows it even pick up. I had good experiences with most of the americans. Only ones that never seemed to like humans were females. Ived been noticing a pattern. Female toads=hate humans?

Btw: hes not the kind of kid to bother the animal if the animal does not want to be held. I mean I used to have a pair of small american toads that used to like being hand fed and didnt mind sitting on my lap for a few mins. While my cane toad you cant even get her to look at you. xD
