My son's new pet

[Mumma.of.two]

I had one of these when I was a kid. They're awesome! I use to feed it by hand and pat it. I did get bitten a few times but it just like being bitten by a gummy baby lol. Sadly he only lasted about 3 years but looking back now I'm surprised he lasted that long. We knew nothing of cycling and his tank got cleaned out with tap water every 6 months or so.

Your daughter sounds like a truly amazing person. And you are most definitely the reason why!
