I personally do not advocate capture of wild animals as pets, they typically don't live long in captivity and there are dangers of parasites and diseases that could shorten the life span additionally of what ever you catch. If you have other reptile pets, this could be a danger to them as well. I suggest you go to a pet store. Some of those are sadly wild caught as well, but have been handled more than what you are after. Good luck to you.
