My Spring Theme Table Center Pieces

I have mason jar on my dining room table filled with 30 tadpoles, one with a garden snake named Squiggles that Judah just caught last night with the salad tongs, and two toads (both named Toady). Can any one who has raised boys to men tell me if this is what I am to expect for a center piece every spring? 
We found Squiggles under a rusty old bucket in the flower bed.  We actually were on a snake hunt.  It wasn't an accident.  Dan (who was safely in the garage during the snake hunt) said that I kept yelling, "Don't drop it!  Don't touch it!  Don't drop it!  Don't squeeze him to hard!  Don't touch it!"  I don't remember a lot of this. !
