My 10 year-old nephew has been watching and helping me (though he can't go in the tank) with my T. blondi. He has also helped me maintain crickets and roaches. He's been wanting a pet of his own, but many pets recommended to pre-teens seem to kick over and die, even if properly cared for, like fish and small rodents. I was actually thinking about helping him start on with a B. smithi or G. rosea (highly supervised, of course), because I've heard they can have good longevity.
He's a bright kid who is responsible and respectful to animals. I was just wondering if one of the two species was better, or if there is an even better starter than one I just mentioned.
