a good reputable place to order leucs. on line. Black jungle doesnt have them. Saurian doesnt have any right now and wont for atleast 7-8 months. Im setting up my tank this week( with my new frog statue) and would love to get them in the next few weeks after that. Thank you in advance

Are you set on buying from a private breeder? If not, I would suggest asking your local pet store. Now, a lot of the big name pet store chains have trouble getting in special orders, but usually, small independant pet stores have a wider variety of options to get animals from. Ideally, you would have a good relationship w/ the owner. For some reason people are less likely to screw you over w/ sick/injured animals if you actually have a friendship with them. Funny how that works... Well, best of luck. Leucs are great frogs. They are hardy breeders and their call is way cool to wake up to first thing in the morning.

It's hard to believe that neither Patrick or Black Jungle has leucs!! Try Ed's Fly Meat or Quality captives, or Pumilio.com. They certainly are not "rare." Maybe they've just become too popular as a starter frog, because we all tout them so much-- for good reason, of course.

If a pet store can get them, so can you, more directly from a reliable, private breeder, and the guarantees are better in the long run.

Thank you guys. If i get them from my local pet store they are going to cost me about 90$ each maybe more. I love my local pet store to death, they do sell some captive bred veileds and beardies( both from my sister) but im kinda leary of where they get thier other stuff but never hurts to ask.

PS patty have you got any of my messages?
