I wasn't saying his age wasn't appropriate. More so if his mom isn't really a herp keeper was the idea behind my opinion. People keep 100lb+ dogs around babies and they manage to live on. I'd think he might feed more off your enthusiasm for the hobby.


Everyone else let's be honest none of the suggestions could actually seriously hurt the kid. We all got hurt as kids, rode bikes, climbed trees, tripped on stuff. Getting a little cut up and bloody is just part of growing up. Look how many of us made it. Have to let kids live a little, getting hurt happens and teaches you lessons. My sister as a toddler stuck her finger in an electrical socket and guess what she only did that once.
