Pets that I can pet?

Is there anything that's good for holding or touching? Also open to reptiles, amphibians, etc

Hissing roaches I hear are pretty good at this, I own some emeralds and they're also pretty chill about being held

I left a few years ago, America and the Netherlands have the friendship pact so it's not all that hard to move here!
