    That may depend on the frog. Many are very delicate. Are they going to want to hold it, touch it, and take a bath with it?

    Knowing the specific frog would probably help.

    All depends what he wants the pet to do. If it was me I would go with a frog.

    Here are some caresheets.

    Your friend needs to be sure they can provide the correct habitat and food and that their lifestyle will match the needs of any animal they are thinking about keeping. They should also know that many male frogs with croak in some form or fashion and some room mates or paternal units will not find it enjoyable.

    Its hard for us to judge the best pet for your friend without knowing him but we can provide info when needed.

    If we also knew what they were expecting from the pet it would help.

    Its a matter of opinion. Frogs are boring to me. Leo's are less boring.

    So your friend wants the forums opinion.

    I have played with geckos but own a horned frog. He is super boring until you feed him but I think he is cool. He would love to play with whatever your friend picks.

    You need to tell your friend to get his own account so you don't have to get on an ask questions without providing the correct information for us to answer. I'm not sure how we are supposed to know what's best for your friend.
